Barrow vs Carlisle Betting Tips - Barrow to Win

Barrow welcome Carlisle United to Holker Street on Thursday night for a crucial Cumbrian derby, with the hosts aiming to continue their solid home form.

Placed 18th in the division, Barrow have struggled to find much consistency this season, and they come into Thursday's contest after back-to-back road victories. 

While the hosts have struggled to replicate the form of last season which saw them secure a playoff spot, Andy Whing´s side retain a strong record in home matches. Barrow won three of their last four matches at SO Legal Stadium.

Andy Whing’s side remain 11 points clear of the relegation zone and have taken 28 of their 37 points in home fixtures this season.

Carlisle come into Thursday's matchup staring relegation to the National League in the face. Winless in four games since the appointment of Mark Hughes, the visitors have suffered seven defeats in their last 10 matches, and now sit bottom of the division, with just 23 points picked up from 32 games played.

On the road, the Blues have been particularly poor, losing five of their last six away fixtures. Carlisle have won only five matches played this season. 

Barrow’s strong home form and Carlisle’s dreadful away results suggest that the Bluebirds should be expected to claim the points on Thursday.

A home win is my top tip at SO Legal Stadium.
