It's the second chance for points this season as Sutton United and Barnet battle it out at The Borough Sports Ground.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Sutton United and Barnet.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Barnet have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 0-2-1 (win-draw-loss) from three matches.

Sutton United form and stats

Happy days for Sutton United in their previous game, a Vanarama National League match away at Hartlepool United that ended with a 3-1 victory. Prior to that, an away loss at Dover Athletic.

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 Sutton United have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won 4 Drawn 2 Lost 1.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Sutton United as they have a new game in only four days, a Vanarama National League match thankfully also at home. Chorley are visiting.

Barnet form and stats

Barnet are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Vanarama National League against Yeovil Town. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Havant & Waterlooville.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Barnet playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were 5 Barnet wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Barnet manager D. Currie as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Notts County.

Let's have a look at how Barnet performed last season in the League Two: They landed a 13th position in the league table after playing out 16 victories, 12 draws and 18 defeats. In total they scored 45 and conceded 50 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 9 - drew 4 and lost 10 with 21/24 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: 1 win for Sutton United, 1 draw and 0 wins for Barnet. Over 2,5 goals: 0 times; under 2,5 goals: 2 games.
