Barrow arrived at League One in the 2020/21 season, and after the first two seasons of struggling in the fourth tier of English football, they became a fairly stable mid-table team. They finished 9th and 8th and are around that standing this season as well. At this moment, they sit in 11th place with 22 points in 15 rounds. Still, as the season progresses, they are slowing down and are currently on a terrible seven-game winless streak. In the EFL Trophy, even though they haven't rotated too much, the Bluebirds have been terrible, losing both matches.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa U21 are one of the worst teams in Premier League 2 this season. They are sitting in 21st place out of 26 teams, but are doing very well against senior teams in the ELF Trophy. The young Villans won both matches (one after the penalty shootout) and are already qualified for the next stage of the competition. Still, we believe they will be motivated to do well against another senior team.
Barrow vs Aston Villa pick: Over 2.5 goals
Barrow haven't been too great for this bet lately, far from it. However, they were over 2.5 goals in both EFL Trophy games. Their defense has been terrible for some time, as they haven't had a clean sheet in the last 11 games, so we believe they will concede at least once or twice against Aston Villa U21 as well. On the other hand, despite being in poor form, we believe they are more than capable of scoring against the young Villans, which allowed three or more goals in four out of the last five games.
Aston Villa U21 have been fantastic for this bet and were over 2.5 goals in nine out of ten games in all competitions. Additionally, both teams have scored in all Aston Villa's games this season, and we believe they will continue that trend in the upcoming EFL tie.
Considering all the above, but especially both teams' terrible defensive performances and the Villans' constant high-scoring games, we believe that over 2.5 goals should be the best option for this match.
Barrow team news
After a 1:1 draw against Colchester, coach Stephen Clemence spoke to the media. He said it is difficult for everyone because they haven't had good results lately. Still, he said they are putting in the effort and expect they will start winning points soon. "We are getting into good areas, and we will get better as the season goes on," the coach added.
