๐ Form Guide
Barrow
WDDWWL
Barrow will be looking for an improved result here following the 2-1 League Two loss in their previous game against Morecambe.
The only name on the scoresheet from Barrow was Ben Whitfield (89'). David Tutonda (3') and Gwion Edwards (11') scored for Morecambe.
Their more recent scorelines shine a light on the fact that not much more can be done by the Barrow backline. Barrow have been miserly, seeing the tally of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their previous 6 matches standing at 4.
Their past results show that Barrow:
- have not been beaten in the league by Swindon Town in their last 2 games.
- are unbeaten in their previous 5 league matches at home.
Swindon Town
DLLLWL
Following on from a loss in their previous game against Sutton United in League Two competition, Swindon Town will be aiming to make amends here.
For Swindon Town, the goalscorers were Jack Bycroft (48' Own goal) and Paul Glatzel (93'). Charlie Lakin (9') and Harry Smith (70') scored for Sutton United.
In a total of 5 out of the previous 6 clashes featuring Swindon Town, at least three goals have gone in. The average goals scored per match within that spell is 3.33, with the number of goals averaged by Swindon Town equalling 1.33. We will have to find out if that trend will be continued on into this next match.
Coming into this clash, Swindon Town are without an away win for the past 9 league matches. It's not a good run at all.

โน๏ธ Team News: Barrow
The Barrow manager Pete Wild will be happy not to have any fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this clash thanks to a completely healthy squad to choose from.
โน๏ธ Team News: Swindon Town
Out of a mainly available group, there is only the sole fitness issue for the Swindon Town manager Gavin Gunning to be concerned about. Nnamdi Ofoborh (heart problems) wonโt be playing here.
โก Prediction
Our thinking is that Barrow will more than likely get the win and a possible clean sheet against Swindon Town, who will be up against it scoring a goal of their own.
Weโre therefore expecting to see a fairly comfortable 2-0 winning margin for Barrow at full-time.
