Barrow v Swindon

Barrow vs Swindon Town Preview

Barrow have produced a promising start to their new League Two campaign as the Cumbrian outfit have picked up three wins in their opening four games of the new season, the latest being last weekend's 1-0 win away from home at Harrogate Town, while Swindon Town have experienced the opposite as The Robins have failed to win any of their opening four league matches to date.

Early season wins against Crewe Alexandra, Port Vale and the aforementioned Harrogate Town have thrust Barrow up into the early automatic promotion spots in the English fourth tier table where the hosts currently occupy third place and another three points here on Saturday afternoon could see The Bluebirds claim top spot depending on other results.

Even more impressive is the fact that Barrow have kept clean sheets in each of their three league wins to date and Stephen Clemence's side may well fancy their chances of achieving another shut-out this Saturday at their SO Legal Stadium when lowly Swindon Town come to visit.

This promising start to this new campaign will have certainly been welcome as Barrow ended last season's League Two campaign in dismal fashion as the hosts failed to win any of their final seven matches, slipping to five defeats in the process.

Swindon Town however, have picked up where they left off at the end of last season's League Two campaign which resulted in The Robins failing to win any of their final three games and being handed losses at the hands of Walsall and Grimsby Town which were both incurred on their travels.

Fast-forward to early August and Swindon Town are still waiting to register their first league win of this new English fourth tier term as the Wiltshire outfit have managed just two draws but have also slipped to two defeats as well within their opening four games.

Points picked up in draws with Chesterfield and Crewe Alexandra have been outweighed by suffering early season losses to the likes of Walsall and Notts County, both of which were on home soil at the County Ground.

Swindon Town ended last season's campaign in a lowly and disappointing 19th place in the League Two table and the bigger picture suggests the visitors may find themselves repeating their lower half finish this season as well, as Mark Kennedy's side have managed to capture just three wins in their last 15 matches overall, two of which were recorded at home - eight defeats within this period suggests further troubles could be just around the corner!

Barrow's promising start to this new season along with home advantage at their SO Legal Stadium should place the hosts in a strong position to take all three points here.
