Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Barrow could well find it tough to break down this Fleetwood Town side who we think will end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.
Weโre therefore anticipating a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 winning score for Fleetwood Town at the end of the match.
Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
