Salford City seeks a third straight win after victories over Grimsby Town (1-0) and Bromley (3-2).
The Ammies are currently six points outside the playoff positions.
Barrow, under new management, are in strong form, having lost only once in their last six matches (W3 D2 L1).
Salford defeated Barrow 3-0 in the reverse fixture at the Peninsula Stadium on Boxing Day.
Why this matters:: A win is vital for Salford to maintain pressure on the teams above them in the playoff race, while Barrow needs points to ensure they stay clear of the relegation zone.
Salford City travels to Cumbria hoping to replicate the form that saw them secure back-to-back wins against Grimsby and Bromley. Manager Karl Robinson knows that a third successive victory, a feat last achieved by the club in early January, would provide a significant boost to their playoff aspirations.
Confidence can be drawn from the convincing 3-0 win against Barrow on Boxing Day, where Luke Garbutt, Tyrese Fornah, and Kylian Kouassi found the net. However, Barrow presents a different challenge this time around.
Since that last meeting, Barrow has appointed Andy Whing as Head Coach. Under his guidance, the Bluebirds have shown resilience, picking up 11 points from their last available 18. Their recent form, combined with the desire to move further away from the lower end of the table, makes Holker Street a tough ground to visit.
With results elsewhere potentially impacting the league standings (notably Grimsby travelling to ninth-placed Crewe Alexandra, who sit just two points ahead of Salford), securing maximum points tonight is paramount for the Ammies' promotion hopes.
