Team News

Barrow
Bradford
  • Barrow are without attacking midfielder Jamie Devitt and left-sided defender Kgosi Ntlhe.
  • Young striker Dimitri Sea has gone AWOL.
  • Niall Canavan is suspended, so Derek Adams may switch to a back-four with Callum Cooke coming in as an extra midfielder.
  • Charles Vernam and Abo Eisa are both out for this match, but key front-man Andy Cook could be back.
  • Eisa, in fact, is absent for the next four months.

Prediction

  • Barrow had the better of the chances against Oldham last time out, but were let down by some wasteful finishing in a goalless draw with League Two's bottom side, meaning Mark Cooper's side are four points above the drop zone, too close for comfort.
  • Bradford City are the division's draw specialists, having shared the points more often than they haven't this season after three consecutive ties. Derek Adams has reportedly lined up five deals this January, which, in attack especially, will be crucial in turning those draws into wins.
  • If the Bantams can start 2022 with a win, then perhaps they can keep their playoff prospects alive.
