MATCH PREVIEW
The draw brought together Blackpool, Morecambe, Barrow, and Liverpool U21 in Group 1. At first glance, it’s a fairly evenly matched group, with the exception of Blackpool, where we can’t clearly identify a strong favorite to advance to the next stage of the competition.
Barrow comes from League Two, and we can say that they are currently performing quite well, at least in terms of their achievements in League Two. After six matches played, they have accumulated eleven points, sitting comfortably in fourth place, with only two points less than the top team, Notts Co. Unlike some previous seasons, this time they have opted for a calmer and more patient style of play, which is best illustrated by their goal difference of 7:5.
Although they have conceded a goal in their last home game, we must acknowledge that their defensive line is solid, and it’s only a matter of time before they enter a streak of matches without conceding. Given that they are now facing objectively stronger opponents, we are confident that Barrow’s defenders will raise their game to an even higher level because teams in League One do not forgive even the slightest mistakes.
Blackpool has played six League One matches so far, currently occupying the twelfth position on the table. They have scored and conceded only four goals in those matches, which is a surprisingly weak performance. Therefore, considering the number of goals scored by this team, they can be satisfied with their current placement.
Their victory against Wigan (one of the weakest teams in the league) and the two goals they scored in the previous round can be deceiving and create a false impression of this team’s strength, so we must be very cautious with Blackpool’s team. This team has not shown consistency and stability so far, so occasional short-term successes may undeservedly label them as favorites, just like in this match. The fact is that Blackpool’s players are struggling to score goals, and that’s how we will assess them.
Barrow vs Blackpool H2H
Barrow and Blackpool have only played two official competitive matches against each other so far, both ending with only one goal scored.
Injuries and suspensions
Aside from minor absences, it is expected that both teams will field their strongest lineups for this match.
Barrow vs Blackpool Prediction
Both teams have struggled to score goals at the beginning of this season, which should have a more significant impact on Blackpool, as they are considerably more expensive in comparison to the modest Barrow team. Looking at the statistics and recent numbers, it’s worth noting that the previous four matches played by Barrow have all ended with no more than two goals scored, and the guests can’t boast of exceptional offensive achievements either. Namely, Blackpool has scored only two goals in their last five matches in all competitions, and that was in the previous round against Wigan.
Neither team shines offensively, so we see value in betting on a lower number of goals. It’s the first round, and it’s reasonable to expect both teams to have a more patient approach. When we add the fact that both of their previous competitive matches ended with only one goal scored, betting on the Asian total goals is our top choice for this match.
