The stats suggest there isn't an obvious winner in this fixture, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Barrow and Colchester will score 2 or more goals between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Stephen Clemence or Danny Cowley has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s recently either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.30 equating to approximately a 77% probability.
