Barnet
- These two clubs have been two sides of the same coin in recent times, sharing an approach based around a compact three or four, plenty of ball in the midfield, width provided by the wing-backs and sharp transitions between possession phases.

- Barnet are currently 11th in the League Two table with 46 points from 30 games, still in the hunt for a playoff spot with some work to do.
- They haven’t lost a game in their last five, though, picking up three wins and two draws to push them up the table and look for momentum.
Swindon Town
Swindon Town , by contrast, are second in the League Two table with 58 points from 31 matches , comfortably inside the promotion spots.

- Swindon, on the other hand, have Aaron Drinan, who has scored 17 times in 25 appearances and has four goals in his last five games.
