Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Mansfield
Barrow will be aiming to seal their spot in the League Two playoffs when they take on Mansfield Town on Saturday afternoon. The Bluebirds face a must-win situation in the decider as several teams are breathing down their neck and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against the Yellows. Pete Wild has no fresh injury worries ahead of the visit of Mansfield Town.
Meanwhile, the visitors have already secured automatic promotion to League One, meaning that they have little to play for in the Holker Street clash. As Barrow are desperate to secure a top-seven finish, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. As Mansfield Town head coach Nigel Clough is likely to experiment with the squad, all Quinn, Keillor-Dunn, and Clarke should sneak into the starting line-up.
Highlighted Player (Lucas Akins):
After making his first football steps in Huddersfield Town youth academy, Lucas Akins made his first-team debut against Northampton Town as he came as a substitute to replace Luke Beckett. However, he made no more than five appearances for Huddersfield Town as he was sent on loan to Nortwich Victoria.
After spending two seasons at Hamilton Academical, the winger, who was born on 25 February 1989, joined Tranmere Rovers in July, 2010. Lucas Atkins scored 7 goals in 77 appearances for the club and in 2012 he signed a contract with Stevenage. The English footballer played 77 league games for the Boro and he scored 13 goals for the club.
During the 2013/2014 campaign he was on Burton Albion’s radar and at the end of the season he joined the Pirelli Stadium outfit. Lucas Atkins enjoys playing football, but dancing is considered his passion as well. His main position is right wing, but he plays as both centre forward and left winger as well.
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.
