Adam Murray’s side head into the 3pm kick-off having won six consecutive league matches, with Tuesday night’s dramatic 3-2 victory at FC Halifax Town the latest demonstration of their growing momentum.

The Bluebirds carry momentum into Saturday's fixture following an impressive turn-around away at Halifax, coming back from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2.

That result followed league victories over Aldershot Town, Southend United, Scunthorpe United, Wealdstone and Tamworth, meaning Barrow have collected 18 points from their last six National League outings.

Murray has nevertheless been keen to keep expectations in check.

“There’s a long way to go,” he said recently. “We need to keep pushing standards if we’re going to keep winning every week.”

They have scored 15 goals and conceded six during that sequence, while their unbeaten run across all competitions now stands at eight matches.

Barrow’s attacking options have been central to their recent success. Innes Cameron will arrive fresh from his Halifax double, while Rekeem Harper scored in five consecutive league games up to and including the 2-1 victory at Tamworth.

Eastleigh, meanwhile, travel north having shown more inconsistent form.

The Spitfires beat Boston United 4-2 last weekend to end a four-match league winless run, with Aaron Blair scoring a hat-trick after being deployed as a lone striker.

Their away form has been less convincing, however, with Matt Gray’s side having recorded only one victory on the road since August.

Gray acknowledged the challenge posed by Barrow, describing them as one of “two really tough sides” alongside Forest Green Rovers, who Eastleigh face before making the long journey to Cumbria.

Barrow will hope to capitalise on their strong home form and maintain a run which has propelled them firmly into the National League play-off conversation.
