Insights:
  • Barnet have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

Barnet form and stats

All-inclusive National League stats playing at home this season for Barnet are 3-2-3 (wins-draws-losses). The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at The Hive Stadium.

Happy days for Barnet in their previous game, a National League match away at Woking (placed 13th) that ended with a 2-1 victory.

Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Torquay United.

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 six games) they have won four times, drawn one and lost one.

Barnet has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 4 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.

Maidenhead United form and stats

Maidenhead United have only collected 4 points from their away games in the National League, after 1-1-5 (7 played). Three has not been a lucky number for Maidenhead as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Wrexham match.

There might be some fixture complaints from Maidenhead as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the National League match against Boreham Wood (0-4). Maidenhead United lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-4 defeat against Dagenham & Redbridge.

Maidenhead are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, five draws and eight defeats. From a total of 18 matches.

The schedule is very tough for Maidenhead now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A National League game at Southend United is waiting in only three days.

Goals are few and far between in Maidenhead United's away league games. Only 3 goals from 7 travels. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Maidenhead have conceded 12 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
