Barrow continue their battle to avoid relegation to the National League when they face Cheltenham on Friday evening.
Seeking to halt a slide in League Two, Barrow travel to the EV Charger Points Stadium after a narrow defeat to Gillingham last weekend, while Cheltenham aim to build on a hard-fought draw at Harrogate.
Cheltenham have won each of the last two meetings between the sides and, with momentum on their side, will fancy their chances of claiming another positive result.

Cheltenham return to The EV Charger Points Stadium after picking up a valuable point against Harrogate Town last weekend. Top scorer Isaac Hutchinson took his tally for the season into double figures as the Robins secured a 1:1 draw at The Exercise Stadium.
Steve Cotterill´s side have shown some signs of improved form in recent weeks, securing one win and three draws from their last four League Two fixtures.

Barrow team overview
Barrow return to League Two action on Friday after another damaging defeat against Gillingham last weekend. Robbie McKenzie's goal, 13 minutes into stoppage time secured a dramatic road win for the Gills.
A dismal run of form has seen Barrow continue to plummet in League Two. Dino Maamria´s side have now lost all but one of their last ten fixtures in the division.
Despite their recent slump, the Bluebirds have remained a solid choice for goal chasers, particularly in away fixtures. Remarkably, each of their last 11 away fixtures finished with both teams on the scoresheet.
Head coach Maamria has one confirmed absentee for Friday's League Two contest. Freddie Anderson is expected to miss out for the visitors.
