Prediction: 2-0
Barrow
Crawley Town aim to recover from a disappointing 4-0 defeat at Notts County when they return to their Broadfield Stadium base. While they struggled defensively in that heavy loss, Crawley have generally been strong at home this term, producing lively attacking performances. With Dixon, Holohan, and Loft all pushing for a place in the starting XI, the Red Devils are expected to rotate their squad slightly in search of a reaction.
Visitors Barrow, meanwhile, arrive on the back of a poor run of form away from home, losing four of their last five matches on the road in all competitions. Their inability to grind out results outside Holker Street has left them vulnerable, even though there are no new injury concerns to worry about. The Bluebirds often struggle when tasked with chasing the game, which plays into Crawley’s hands. Given Crawley's signs of improvement at their own ground and Barrow’s travel woes, there is a big value in betting on Scott Lindsey's troops.
