Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Holker Street will host Saturday’s football game between Barrow and Stockport County, the two teams who defeated Bradford City and Rochdale respectively in their last league matches. The Bluebirds have regained much-needed confidence, with the team rejoining the playoffs race, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to secure a top-seven finish. One of the men to watch in the home team will be midfielder Josh Kay, who scored the winner against the Bantams.
The Hatters, on the other hand, are eyeing their sixth consecutive league win, but given their ups and downs on the road, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from the match. The opposition back-line should have Will Collar at bay as the 25-year-old midfielder has been producing excellent displays in the League Two of late.
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.
