Barrow
LWLDDL
Since being beaten in their last game against Harrogate Town in League Two competition, Barrow will be aiming to make amends here.
Jack Muldoon (56') and Josh March (61') scored for Harrogate Town.
The stats don’t lie, and Barrow have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 9 goals overall. At the back, Barrow just haven’t been too solid at all.
Going into this encounter, Barrow haven’t won away from home in the past 9 league matches. A poor run.

20 goals were produced between them throughout the course of those matches, with 9 of them for The Valiants and 11 for The Bluebirds. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 3.33.
🗞️ Team News: Port Vale
There is just the sole fitness concern for the Port Vale gaffer Darren Moore to be concerned about from a near full-strength group. Mitch Clark (Cartilage damage) won’t play.
🧠 Prediction
We’re of the opinion that Barrow would be disappointed if they were not to get a goal against this Port Vale outfit, however that probably won’t quite be enough to prevent defeat.
We’re predicting a close game with a 2-1 win for Port Vale when all is said and done. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
