Barrow vs Colchester United: match statistics
Colchester United appear to be the favorite for this match, which is supported by key statistics. Barrow are in 22nd place in the table and are on a disastrous run of five consecutive defeats without a point, scoring only 4 goals and conceding as many as 11 in their last five matches. The hosts have won only 15% of their home games and have a negative goal difference of -11 at home. Colchester, from 12th position, are in significantly better form, picking up 9 points in their last five matches (3 wins), and away from home they boast a 36% win rate and a positive goal difference of +3.
