Barrow vs Grimsby Betting Tips

Barrow have managed a few impressive results in their campaign for survival in the Conference National.

They won the Conference North last season, and were one of the favourites for relegation at the beginning of this season.

But the odd win and draw scattered among the expected losses sees them sit in 16^th position after 19 league games. They are already nine points clear of the Conference National drop zone.

But Barrow are on a bit of a downer at the moment. Their defensive solidity has slipped, and they have conceded seven in their last two games in the league.

They have only won two of their last nine games in all competitions, with four of their last six ending in defeat.

Their current four match winless streak threatens to turn into something more serious if they don’t pick up a win soon.

They are quite unlikely to get one against Grimsby though. The visitors narrowly missed out on promotion last season as they finished 3^rd in the Conference National.

They have set about this campaign in a less impressive manner, currently sitting in 9^th position with a return of 30 points from their opening 19 games.

This is largely down to the fact that they aren’t the best at winning games, and their nine draws is a league high at the moment. They have only lost three times though, making them one of the hardest teams to beat in the league.

But Grimsby have only won two of their last six Conference National matches, and only three in their last ten outings.

Away from home they find it even more difficult to win. Only two of their nine league matches on the road have seen them take the maximum points, with one loss and six draws making up the rest of the results.

This makes odds of 14/5 for a Draw on Tuesday look excellent value for money, and I’m going for that along with a 1-1 correct scoreline at 13/2.
