Recent respective form guides

Southport's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Sandgrounders have scored 7, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Barrow's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. Bluebirds have conceded 12 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

Southport are stuck down in the relegation zone of Blue Square (Conference) Premier with a return of just 2 points from their 5 games thus far.

Barrow's 7 points from 5 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
