Two different teams
With 21 points from their 20 games to date in the Southern League Premier Division Central, Bury Town FC sit 18th in the standings and have been struggling to put a good run of form together since the start of the campaign. Our Bury Town FC vs Barwell FC preview indicates that Cole Skuse’s side have failed to establish a consistent identity at Step 3 but they’ve instilled a ball-first approach which will be their foundation. They like to keep the ball, play with a measured tempo and press aggressively to win it back.
The hosts have been out of form recently, going 0-1-4 from their last 5 games, and they’ve lost their last 2 without a point. At home, the form is a little better (W5 L5) but they’ve also lost their last 2 home games and will be desperate to pick up some points.
Barwell will make a battle of it
Barwell, despite sitting 14th in the division with 24 points from 19 games, have been more reliable this season than Bury and should come to the game with the confidence provided by our Bury Town FC vs Barwell FC prediction, knowing they can hurt their opponents.
Jimmy Ginnelly has overseen a pragmatic, results first approach to his side’s campaign, and they’re a team that often looks to set up shop and defend their third before breaking out with direct, high-tempo play at the right moments. Barwell thrive off turnovers and are always a threat from set-pieces.
Anthony Dwyer has scored 5 goals in Barwell’s last 5 league matches; he’s a clinical operator and has been a difference-maker for a team that has lacked goals this term.
