Barnet form and stats

4-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the National League numbers at home for Barnet so far this season. It’s been three wins in a row for Barnet here at The Hive Stadium, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

An away draw last time out for Barnet, facing Boreham Wood in a game that ended 0-0.

Preceding that match was a Fa Trophy defeat to Boreham Wood (2-3).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Barnet have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won four times, drawn zero and lost one.

The Barnet fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 9 matches. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
