🧠 Prediction
We feel that over the course of the game, Southend United will really need to work well to register a score against this Barrow side who we reckon will do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.
With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 victory for Barrow at the end of the 90 minutes.
