2025-26 League Two: Week 16 – Bromley vs Barrow

Bromley continue their promotion chase in a home clash against Barrow in 2025-26 Sky Bet League Two. 

Victory could lift Bromley into the play-off spots depending on results elsewhere, whilst Barrow can climb as high as 12th with a win if results in other matches go in their favour.

 

Team News

Bromley have no fresh injury concerns to report following their Vertu Trophy exit in a 2-1 loss against AFC Wimbledon, as Deji Elerewe, Mitch Pinnock and Michael Cheek feature amongst those looking for a recall to the starting line-up.

Ben Thompson (ankle) and Carl Jenkinson (hip) remain sidelined.

Barrow will be without MJ Williams as he serves the last of a three-match suspension.

Innes Cameron is ruled out after he suffered an ankle injury in training but Jack Earing could return subject to a fitness test.

Tom Barkhuizen and Tyler Walker are doubts with unspecified injuries.

Sam Foley (unspecified), Rhys Healey (knee) and Kerr Smith (ankle) remain ruled out.

 

When is Kick-Off?

Bromley host Barrow at Copperjax Stadium on Saturday 15 November at 3pm GMT, live on Sky Sports+ in the UK.

 

Stat Attack

  • Bromley have avoided defeat in 10 of their 12 previous league meetings against Barrow (W4, D6, L2), although their two previous EFL meetings ended in 1-1 and 3-3 draws respectively last season.
  • Barrow have won just one of their six previous league visits to Bromley (W1, D2, L3), including a 1-1 draw in their only previous EFL visit in October 2024.
  • Michael Cheek scored in both of Bromley’s meetings against Barrow last season.
  • Andy Woodman’s Ravens are yet to lose at home in the league this season (W3, D4).
  • Barrow are winless in their last five league trips to London-based opposition (D4, L1).

 

Prediction

Having put together a smash-and-grab victory in their last league match at Colchester, Bromley now will need to produce another efficient defensive and clinical display because this won’t be easy but their Vertu Trophy exit allows them to now focus solely on a promotion challenge.

Barrow are unbeaten in their last seven league games and although they’ve won just one of their last five, they’re undoubtedly a tight-knit team who dig in when they fall behind as saw against Grimsby last weekend so won’t make life simple throughout for the hosts.

Bromley however is a bogey away trip for Barrow but that record counts for nothing coming into this clash because Andy Woodman’s Ravens are often prone to defensive errors, which makes this a test of whether they can build on last weekend’s clean sheet.

I however do feel that this could be a tough scrappy game but Bromley do seem to have more goals in them which could be the difference.

Prediction: Bromley 2-1 Barrow

Result: Bromley 2-1 Barrow
