Barrow vs Aston Villa Predictions

• Barrow sit 73 league positions below Aston Villa.
• Barrow have lost two of their five competitive games this season, failing to score twice.
• Aston Villa have won seven of their last ten Carabao Cup ties.

Villains to stroll to success in Barrow

Premier League side Aston Villa make a long trip up north to one of the most isolated clubs in the EFL on Tuesday as they visit a Barrow side that sit some 73 league positions below them.

It’s likely to be a heavily rotated Villa side but after their summer spending they have plenty of strength in depth and that should be more than enough to ensure their hosts don’t walk away with a huge scalp in the Carabao Cup.

Barrow fell to their second defeat of the season on Saturday at Harrogate Town and were knocked out of the EFL Cup at the first time of asking last season, while Aston Villa picked up their first win of the season against Newcastle and another 2-0 scoreline could be on the cards.

Even with heavy rotation Villa can still boast the likes of Axel Tuanzebe, Marvelous Nakamba, Matt Targett and Wesley in their starting lineup and that should be enough for them to claim a comfortable win against a Barrow side that have failed to score in two of their five competitive outings this season. I’m backing Aston Villa to win to nil alongside a 2-0 correct score prediction.
