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 9 have been leaked at the other end.

York City's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Minstermen have hit 4 goals, 12 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 29 points from their 32 games thus far.

York City lie just outside the playoff positions in the Blue Square (Conference) Premier, picking up 51 from their 33 games so far.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Bluebirds at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Minstermen come away with an easy victory. Away win
