Recent respective form guides
Barrow need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Bluebirds have scored 5, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
Southport's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Sandgrounders have hit 9 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Barrow are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 13 points from 13 matches.
Southport find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 16 points from their 13 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Barrow at home in recent games, and, though we cannot see a run starting here, we do think the Bluebirds will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
