WDLDWL ⚖

After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Blackpool in EFL Trophy competition, Barrow and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

Sonny Carey (44') and Kylian Kouassi (85') scored for Blackpool.

The stats tell the story, and Barrow have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 6 goals in all. In defence, Barrow seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly.
