The unpredictability of the FA Cup is again on show as Barrow AFC take on Ipswich in a second round replay. The League One Ipswich were held to a goalless draw against the League Two Barrow. Barrow are in 19th position with 22 points in League Two while Ipswich are in 12th position with 28 points in League One. The hosts halted a run of three successive league defeats when they won 2-0 at home to Swindon. It was their first win in five matches across all competitions. Barrow will have history against them as they have progressed in just three of their 29 previous FA Cup ties against sides from a higher league. They are looking to advance to the third round for the first time since the 216-17 season. This is also their first time in the second round since that season.

Ipswich will be disappointed with their poor finishing in the first leg as they have 13 attempts on goal without finding the back of the net. They have failed to win in their last three matches on the road with their last away win coming in the FA Cup first round when they beat Oldham 2-1. Ipswich have won two of their last three FA Cup ties on the road more than they have in the previous 14 away matches. They have only scored one goal in their previous three away matches after having scored six in the two away matches prior to that.
