Barnet form and stats

The story so far in the National League for Barnet at their home stadium (The Hive Stadium) is 6 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats. When Barnet hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Maidenhead United, Aldershot Town, Weymouth, Dover Athletic, Eastleigh, King's Lynn Town and Barnet), they have won 4 of 6 matches! The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at The Hive Stadium.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Aston Oxborough not having conceded a league goal in 229 minutes.

A nice win for Barnet last time playing, versus Boreham Wood. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Mason-Clark scoring for the victors.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Dover Athletic in a game that was won 6-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Barnet have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost three.

Barnet are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 21 goals in 16 games. Barnet have conceded 27 from these games.
