We said: Barrow 1-0 Sutton United
Based on last season's standings, the two teams should be evenly-matched as only four points separated them in the table.
However, Sutton only managed to win four games away from home last season, and combined with Barrow's impressive home form last term, we are inclined to side with a narrow home victory.
