Insights:
  • Sutton United have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (8) in National League
  • Barnet have the fewest scored goals (28) in National League

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

0-1-1 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Barnet when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those two matches are 2-3 (scored/conceded).

Sutton United form and stats

9-4-3 (win-draw-lost) are the National League numbers at home for Sutton United, who have the the best goal difference (+18) at home in National League, so far this season.

Sutton lost their last game at Eastleigh (placed 10th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Before that match, a win away at Altrincham.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Sutton United, as the National League home game vs Aldershot Town is only four days away.

The Sutton fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 31 goals in 16 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Sutton have conceded only 13 goals.

Barnet form and stats

Barnet, who have the fewest scored goals (28) in National League, have only collected 10 points from their away games in the National League, after 2-4-10 (16 played).

Barnet play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-2 victory visiting Altrincham (placed 17th). Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Boreham Wood.

What a finish in the last match, as Barnet came back from being down 0-2 and secured a very satisfying victory through T. Adeloye's goal in the 89th minute. T. Adeloye came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Altrincham last time out, making the manager S. Bassey feel like a tactical genius.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Barnet's match history for similar games we find two matches. The home team won two of these as expected, zero of them by at least two goals. Barnet managed zero draws and zero surprise wins.

A quick return to home after this game, as Barnet are hosting Dagenham & Redbridge in the National League only four days away.

The visiting Barnet have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 17 goals from 16 games. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Barnet's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 42 goals in 16 travels. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last three meetings between these two teams are: one win for Sutton, two draws and zero wins for Barnet. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
