Barrow
Grimsby Town and Barrow go head to head at Blundell Park in what is expected to be a close encounter. Grimsby are desperate to put an end to their four-game winless run in the League Two, but, no doubt, the would be happy with one point from the midweek fixture. The Mariners failed to find the net in the previous two league fixtures, and, to make things even worse for the fans, talented midfielder James Tilley is out of contention after picking up an injury in the goalless draw with Stevenage.
Barrow, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team recording back-to-back wins over Mansfield and Bradford City. Barrow seems to be a more of a team than Grimsby, and the visitors should take advantage of the fact that the game will be played behind closed doors.

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.
