Tamworth
- Tamworth have won three of their last five matches, making it two wins in a row following victories over Sutton United and Hartlepool United.
- Tamworth FC, 18th in the National League 2026/2027 with 14 points from 12 matches, have been in better form over the last fortnight than Barrow FC, who are ninth in the table on 18 points after the same number of matches.
- The Lambs, who sit compactly in 4-5-1 and 4-3-3 formations, have built their reputation on a low block, physicality and sharp counters.
- Tamworth have proved they can win both when they dominate the play and when they are on the back foot, beating Sutton United 2-0 at home and Hartlepool United 1-0 away in their recent back-to-back wins.
- And The Lamb Ground has been a solid base for Peaks' side this season with three wins, one draw and one defeat from five home games.
Barrow
- Barrow have won four of their last five, including each of their previous four.
- Barrow have been more prolific away from home, where they average 1.50 goals per game and have conceded 1.67.
- Adam Murray, who took over on 12 May 2026, has a little more to show for his efforts in the goals department with Barrow averaging 1.50 away.
- But they have been leaking a little on the road with 1.67 conceded per away game, so there will be chances in this one.
- Murray has instilled more structure into the Bluebirds and his 4-2-3-1 system looks more flexible when it comes to pressing.
Key Players
- Kieren Donnelly leads the Tamworth scoring with six in 11 National League 2026/2027 games and has to be the man for them to play off in the penalty box, but Nathan Tshikuna has chipped in with two of their five in their last five.
- Andy Peaks has done a brilliant job since taking over on 15 February 2022, building a highly-disciplined and hard-to-break side with his Lambs.
- Murray has instilled more structure into the Bluebirds and his 4-2-3-1 system looks more flexible when it comes to pressing.
Betting Insights
- Barrow are the favorites at 2.28, with Tamworth second at 2.78 and the draw third at 3.99.
- We cannot oppose Tamworth, who have been strong at home, but we also can't see Barrow running away with this one unless their tempo is right.
- The 1.62 about Over 2.5 goals looks better than the three match markets and Barrow look the best bet to nick it if they can maintain their momentum.
Prediction
- It should be a tough, low-block versus structured possession affair with Barrow trying to cut through the defence and Tamworth looking for space on the counter.
