History of the Barrow v Histon fixture

Barrow prepare to entertain Histon at Holker Street Stadium on Tuesday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. Of the two previous meetings, the Bluebirds have won one and drawn one.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Holker Street Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2010, when they played out a goalless draw in a (Conference) Premier match.
