Barrow vs Newport County Predictions

• Both teams have scored in four of Barrow’s last five league games and in three of Newport’s last five.
• The sides have both struck in six of their eight League 2 starts this term.
• The teams have also managed just two clean sheets apiece in eight league matches.

Both teams to score fancied at Barrow

Barrow and Newport County get the weekend’s League 2 action underway at The Dunes Hotel Stadium on Friday night and both teams to score looks the bet in Cumbria with neither side fancied to land all three points.

13^th placed Newport County gained a first league victory in five when beating Walsall 2-1 last weekend, and The Exiles know that another success here would temporarily lift them into the Play-Off places with just three points currently separating them from fourth placed Northampton Town in a congested early table.

But Michael Flynn’s side make little appeal here at just under 2/1 based on their indifferent start to the campaign and they’ve so far won just one of their four outings on the road, losing two.

Barrow are also passed over at shorter odds after just one league win in six (D3, L2), and both teams to strike rates the standout with both sides netting in six of their eight League 2 matches this season.

Both have also kept just two clean sheets apiece, while we’ve seen both teams net in four of Barrow’s last five and in three of the visitors’ last five starts.

Both teams bagged in last term’s league meetings with each securing a 2-1 home victory apiece, but we’re forecasting a 1-1 result this time around considering neither hold compelling claims.
