History of the Barrow v York City fixture

Barrow prepare to entertain York City at Holker Street Stadium on Tuesday evening, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 32 games played, Bluebirds have recorded 12 wins, and York City have come away with 11 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Holker Street Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2009, when they played out a goalless draw 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 6, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

York City's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Barrow find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 8 points from their 8 matches. York City lie just outside the playoff positions in the Blue Square (Conference) Premier, picking up 14 from their 8 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
