Footymad preview History of the Barrow v Cambridge United fixture

Barrow prepare to entertain Cambridge United at Holker Street on Saturday afternoon, determined to stop the rot against their opponents, having lost out to their rivals on 4 of the previous 6 occasions.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Holker Street was less than a year ago, in April 2012, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a (Conference) Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Barrow have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Bluebirds have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Cambridge United's away form is none too clever either, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While the U's have hit 10 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Barrow are stuck down in the relegation zone of Blue Square (Conference) Premier with a return of just 10 points from their 11 games thus far.

Cambridge United are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 10 points from 11 matches.
