Cheltenham has won 2, drawn 2, and lost 6 of their 10 league away games. Barrow has won 2, drawn 3, and lost 5 of their 10 home league games. I am taking Barrow to win this match at home tonight.

Battle of two poor teams right here, and I can't split them. So the spot is to take the draw in that instance. Barrow is in no form at all, and Cheltenham actually come in better form here. I just see a 0-0 or 1-1.

I see Cheltenham as the clear favourite here. Barrow's recent home defence is extremely worrying, shipping nine goals in five fixtures. Cheltenham’s steady away form suggests they will capitalise, but they rarely keep a clean sheet. I predict a win for the visitors.

7 of Cheltenham's 10 away league games so far this season have seen a total of less than 2.5 goals scored, so the under looks the side to be on here.

Barrow saw their last four matches in all competitions end in over 2.5 goals. Five of the past six league meetings between these teams ended in over 2.5 goals.

Although Barrow have failed to score in their last 2 home games, their goal scoring form hasn’t been too bad in recent games with them having scored 2 goals in 5 of their last 8 games, so I reckon a goal could be on the cards in this game when they face an opponent who have conceded 33 goals in their 20 games this season of which 22 where conceded in the 10 games played away from home. Only 1 team have scored fewer than the 16 goals Cheltenham have put past their opponents this season, but, having failed to score in only 1 of their last 11 games, I’ll chance they can score at least 1 in this game against a team who have kept only 2 clean sheets in 10 home games, therefore, in a game that I think could end with 2 or 3 goals scored my money will be on Both teams to score @ 1.85

1-1 might be the answer to this tricky League Two game between two sides who are twenty-one points and trying to stay clear of relegation. Past games between them have seen over 2.5 goals, and at present Cheltenham are showing the better form. With Barrow at home and being stubborn in defending, a scored draw looks a possibility.
