Recent respective form guides
Barrow's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Bluebirds's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.
Mansfield Town's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. Those games have seen the Stags pummel 17 goals, and let in 10.
Barrow are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 28 points from 29 matches. Mansfield Town's 42 points from 30 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.

Nothing seems to be going right for the Bluebirds at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Stags come away with an easy victory. Away win
