Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Swindon Town and Barrow go head to head at County Ground in the penultimate round of the season. The Robins aim to build on back-to-back wins over Hartlepool and Forest Green, and a triumph over Barrow could see them climb to the playoffs berth. Even though midfielder Ellis Iandolo serves a one-game ban, home win should be considered as the hosts want this win more than the visitors.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, have already secured the League Two survival, meaning that they have nothing to play for in Saturday’s clash. Barrow failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Exeter, which is yet another reason why we are going to put our money on the home side. All James, Banks, and Sea are pushing for a start, speaking of the away team.
