Barrow vs Wrexham Prediction: Barrow will be looking to bounce from the recent defeat

Barrow will welcome Wrexham at The Dunes Hotel Stadium in Gameweek 5 of the English League 2. Barrow will be looking to bounce from the recent defeat. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Barrow, after finishing ninth last season, are determined to compete for an unexpected promotion in their fourth year in the Football League. The team led by Peter Wild started their league campaign with three undefeated matches but suffered a 1-0 loss against Stockport County, which put an end to their unbeaten streak. In that game, Aston Villa loanee Louie Barry scored the decisive goal in the 66th minute. Barrow have only played one home game at SO Legal Stadium so far, defeating Sutton United thanks to goals from Emile Acquah and Jamie Proctor. 

Lillis; Warren, Ray, Canavan; Worrall, Foley, White, Campbell; Tiensia; Acquah, Procter

Their opponents, Wrexham, had an eventful match last weekend with a thrilling 5-5 draw against Swindon Town. Despite being two goals behind in added time, James Jones and Elliot Lee scored in the 92nd and 96th minutes respectively to secure a draw for the Red Dragons. Known for both their attacking prowess and defensive vulnerabilities, Wrexham have scored and conceded the most goals in League Two. They have only played one away game this season, drawing 1-1 against AFC Wimbledon. However, Wrexham has not won in their last four visits to Barrow, with their last victory at the home of the Bluebirds dating back to February 2013.

Barrow has had a decent start to their season under Wild, but Wrexham's strong performance in League Two makes them a formidable opponent. We predict that Wrexham, the National League champions, will come out on top in this match. We expect over 2.5 goals in the game.
