Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Barrow will be aiming to put an end to their three-game winless run when they take on Harrogate in the League Two round 25. The Bluebirds are determined to record their first win of 2025 and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Sulphurites. As Rory Feely suffered an injury in a 2-2 draw with Bradford City, Neo Eccleston is likely to sneak into the starting XI.
Harrogate, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Salford City, but given their defensive struggles, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team, experienced forward Jack Muldoon could earn his first start since December 14, 2024. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier Barrow defeated Harrogate 1-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Team (Barrow):
Founded back in 1901, Barrow is an English club that competes in the League two, the fourth tier of the English football system. The Bluebirds are well known for their blue shirts with white details, but yellow is the dominant colour of their away jersey. Barrow play home games at Holker Street, the stadium which can hold up to 5,045 spectators.
The venue was opened in 1909, and it has to be noted that no fewer than 16,874 people attended the FA Cup match between Barrow and Swansea in January, 1954. The Bluebirds have won two FA Trophies (1989/90, 2009/10), with the team lifting the Lancashire Senior Cup trophy in the 1954/55.
The likes of James Bell, Jim Collins, Andy McLaren, Jimmy Mulholland, Jackie Robertson, Barry Diamond, and George King are the most notable footballers who played for Barrow in the past. It has to be noted that the Bluebirds have never competed in the English top flight.
