Next Tuesday, Barrow will play host to Salford City at Holker Street, and the hosts enter the contest in 21st place in League Two with kickoff at 10:45 pm.
Therefore, the visitors are in 10th place and will be hoping for a victory to bridge the seven-point gap to the playoffs.
Having earned a crucial 2-0 victory over Colchester United, Cardiff City would have been in high spirits entering the contest with Mansfield Town.
Rhys Oates opened the scoring for the Stags inside the first minute of the game, but Barrow FC showed character to battle back through James Jones. The home side took the lead before Steven McLaughlin and Jordan Bowery found the net to condemn Mark Cooper’s side to a 3-1 defeat.
The Bluebirds are currently in League Two and have a seven-point buffer over teams battling it out at the bottom of the league. They’ve won just two games in their last 15 league fixtures, so it’s possible that they could still be drawn into a relegation battle.
At the weekend, Salford suffered a heavy defeat at home to Colchester. Goals from Luke Chambers, Myles Kenlock, and Corie Andrews helped Colchester claim an impressive 3-0 win, and as a result of that defeat, the Ammies find themselves seven points adrift of the top seven.
