Barnet
- Barnet have won seven of their last ten all-competitions (D2, L1) and are unbeaten in their last five home games (W3, D2).
- Barnet enter this game on the back of a good run of form and with some solid momentum at home, too.
- Barnet are averaging 2.80 goals per game scored and 1.60 conceded at home across all competitions and their games tend to be lively.
Salford
- Salford have won just two of their last four away games (D1, L1).
- Salford have won two, drawn one and lost one of their four away fixtures so far and they have been more rigid and transition-driven than not in that time.
- The visitors have a very different setup under Peter Cklamovski, his teams tend to be more progressive and have a pressing element to their play.
Key Players
- Callum Stead is their main goal threat, netting six of their 11 goals in the last five competitive matches, but he is perhaps the only player with any real finishing touch in the side.
- Brennan's side can play in a 4-3-3, but also employ back-three shapes and they have the ability to control games, or play wide and through the middle to try and break opponents down.
Betting Insights
There is definitely some value in the Barnet 2.32 quote for this game as compared to Salford 2.98 and the draw 3.3 , but there is a case to be made for the over 2.5 at 2.0 or the both teams to score at 1.73 markets.
Prediction
The most likely outcome here is probably a Barnet win, but it is more likely to be a scrappy match than a stroll for the Bees.
