Recent respective form guides

Barrow need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Bluebirds have scored 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Stevenage B.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Boro's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.

Barrow's 3 points from 2 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Stevenage B. see themselves just below half way in the Blue Square (Conference) Premier, showing a record of 2 points from their 2 games played so far,
