A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: League Two
Venue: The Crown Ground
Friday 26th December 2025, 1500hrs (GMT)
Recent losses at the hands of Bromley and Cambridge United have prevented Accrington Stanley from lifting themselves further up the League Two table but John Doolan’s side have a good opportunity to return to winning ways when they entertain Barrow at the Crown Ground on Boxing Day and return to their previous promising form.
Prior to these two recent losses, Accrington Stanley had put together a solid looking six-game unbeaten sequence in League Two which included collecting important wins against the likes of Bristol Rovers, Oldham Athletic and Harrogate Town respectively.
Accrington Stanley’s form at home just about has the hosts in positive territory as they hold a 4-3-3 13/9 record at The Crown Ground where they have slipped to just one defeat in their last five home games.
Barrow occupy 19th place in the League Two table and find themselves three points below Accrington Stanley ahead of the busy Christmas period but recent results suggest the visitors will be doing well to get anything out of this Boxing Day encounter.
Indeed, Barrow have failed to win any of their last eight matches in all competitions as The Bluebirds have drawn three but lost five of these recent matches which includes being dealt defeats in League Two by Bromley, Cambridge United, Tranmere Rovers and Cheltenham Town respectively.
In addition, Barrow have managed to capture just one win in their last five outings on the road amongst an overall away record in League Two which stands at a fairly poor looking 3-3-4 12/12 so far this season.
The Betting Verdict
Accrington Stanley won 1-0 in the last meeting against Barrow and a similar scoreline could unfold here on Boxing Day.
The Pick :
Accrington Stanley 1-0 Barrow
