Recent respective form guides

Barrow's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Bluebirds have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Alfreton Town's away form is none too clever either, picking up four victories from the last six. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 4 have been let in at the wrong end.

Barrow are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 2 points from 3 matches.

Alfreton Town are stuck down in the relegation zone of Blue Square (Conference) Premier with a return of just 1 points from their 3 games thus far.
