Gloucester City vs Barrow — Tips & Analysis

Gloucester City +0.75: Gloucester City have already shown they can live with this. They kept Barrow out for 90 minutes at Holker Street, with Sam Kane in good form in goal and Barrow wasting what they made. Gloucester are also hard to beat by much. They have lost by 2 or more goals only once in their last 16 games, and they let in under a goal a game at home. Barrow are two divisions higher and arrive on a good run, with four straight wins before that 0-0, including a 4-2 at Southend. Their travelling is the soft spot. Barrow have won just 2 of their seven away games, and they let in more than a goal a game on the road. This is also a long Tuesday trip for them. They have won by 2 or more goals in only 3 of their last 15 games, so a big win is not their habit. Now the honest part. Barrow winning 1-0 is the most likely single score, and a one-goal defeat is not what we want here. Gloucester need to avoid losing, and their record says that is well within reach. The caution is Gloucester's thin home numbers. They have played only seven home games there, and they score just over a goal a game at that ground. They also let in five at Malvern Town last month. We are still with Gloucester, because Barrow have to win by more than they usually manage.
