In this round of the FA Cup, Barrow host Gloucester City. The two have met many times before, and past results have swung both ways, from Gloucester City winning 2-0 at home in December 2014 to Barrow thrashing them 5-0 at home in October of the same year. This time it is different in that Barrow are in their most confident spell of the season. Barrow have won five in a row in the league, with their latest match a 2-1 win, and they have been picking up victories without too much trouble. Their attack has been scoring consistently. Gloucester City are also unbeaten in four, but their path includes a 4-0 win in the FA Vase and a 1-1 draw in the league. Their latest match was a 3-1 win, a scoreline that says the game was close but they closed it out. If Barrow score first, Gloucester City will have to open up and fight, which will make the middle of the pitch wider and give the game more chance of trading blows. But if Gloucester City take the lead first, Barrow will have to push the game at home, and that also keeps the game open either way. The game should have more than one goal.
