Barrow arrive at this FA Cup Final on the back of five consecutive wins, having conceded just four goals across those fixtures. Gloucester have won three of their last five but shipped eight goals in the process, keeping only one clean sheet. The gap in defensive solidity is the defining factor here. Barrow have scored in all five recent outings and gone over 2.5 goals in four of them, suggesting they carry genuine attacking threat alongside their defensive discipline. Gloucester conceded in four of their last five, which points to a porous back line under pressure. The verdict: back Barrow to win. At 1.35 with Marathon, the price is compressed but the form differential justifies it. For protection, Draw No Bet on Barrow at 1.08 is the safety net. The main play is the straight HOME at 1.35.
