Kidderminster face a trip to Barrow at Holker Street Stadium on Thursday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Harriers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them being consigned to defeat by opponents in 3 of the 5 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in January 2009, the Bluebirds carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a (Conference) Premier match.
