Barrow vs Morecambe Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

This is a huge opportunity for Barrow to go top of the table. Coming up against Morecambe, who are yet to win a game in the league this season, this will be seen as a game that can only end in victory.

Morecambe though will look to pull off a huge shock and pick up their first three points of the season.

Barrow Preview

Barrow Predicted Lineup - Wyll Stanway; Ben Jackson, Chris Stokes, Theo Vassell, Rory Feely; Dean Campbell, Kian Spence; Elliot Newby, Sam Foley, Chris Popov; Emile Acquah

Thus far, Barrow have had an unbelievable season. They currently sit third place in the league but are only off the top spot on goal difference. This having picked up 19 points in 10 games.

Their amazing defence has seen them only conceded seven goals so far this year. This the second least in the division.

They are slightly let down with their ability in front of goal having only scored 13 goals this season. However they still often find a way to win emphasised by their place in the table.

A win here is vital not only to go top but also to avoid embarrassment.

Morecambe Preview

Morecambe Predicted Lineup - Stuart Moore; David Tutonda, Jamie Stott, Rhys Williams; Adam Lewis, Callum Jones, Yann Songo’o Luke Hendrie; Marcus Dackers, Paul Lewis, Ben Tollitt

Morecambe have a quite frankly awful start to the season. Right now they sit rock bottom of EFL League Two without a win to their name. They have only got four points in ten games this campaign.

Not only this but they have scored the second least goals in the league (8) while also conceding 14. Their inability to win games has left them as the only team in the league that haven’t won yet.

Coming up against Barrow in the complete opposite position to them couldn’t be a harder test for Derek Adams’ men. This will be a difficult game.
