Walsall Preview – Can Walsall halt poor run?
Walsall will be keen to halt a seven-match sequence without a win in League Two on Friday night when they play host to Barrow at their Banks’s Stadium following four defeats and three draws which have seen The Saddlers pick up just three points from the last possible 21 on offer.
This poor run of form has seen Walsall drop down to 19th place in League Two as they look for a way out of their current predicament, but the bigger picture shows that Walsall have managed to win just once out of their last 13 matches overall in the fourth tier.
Results at home have also suffered for the hosts as they’ve failed to win any of their last seven matches, losing five of these but a lack of goals provides an opportunity here as 11 of Walsall’s 17 home matches have been under 2.5 goals.
Barrow Preview – Can Barrow stay afloat?
A 2-0 home win over Mansfield Town last time out in League Two handed Barrow a valuable lifeline in their bid to avoid relegation back down to the National League and the visitors sit just above the bottom two with just goal difference separating them from second from bottom outfit, Southend United.
Similar to hosts, Walsall, Barrow have struggled for results of late as the visitors have lost six of their last eight matches overall with only victories over Oldham Athletic and the aforementioned Mansfield Town to show for their efforts.
Barrow have also only won three away matches all season amidst a poor looking record of 3-1-11 13/20 so the prospects of an away win here do seem slim; however, 10 of Barrow’s 15 away matches have also resulted in under 2.5 goals.
