Barrow prepare to entertain Stevenage Borough at Holker Street Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Out of their two previous meetings, the Bluebirds have lost both.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Holker Street Stadium was less than a year ago, in August 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a (Conference) Premier match.

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 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Stevenage B.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Boro's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.
Barrow's 3 points from 2 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Stevenage B. see themselves just below half way in the Blue Square (Conference) Premier, showing a record of 2 points from their 2 games played so far,

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