Aldershot vs Barnet Predictions

• After receiving a reprieve from relegation last season, Aldershot are struggling once again down in 20th.
• The hosts have won just 1 of their last 5 games across all competitions and confidence can’t be too high coming into this clash.
• Currently 11th and within touching distance of the play-offs with games in hand, Barnet will be looking for what would be an important victory on Saturday.
• The visitors have won 4 matches in a row and arrive in confident mood

Aldershot struggling once again

After being saved from relegation last season due to Gateshead being unable to obtain a National League license, Aldershot are struggling once again and may not be so lucky this time around. 20th and just 1 point clear of the drop zone, The Shots are in a concerning position and need to find improvement.

On name alone, Aldershot should be contending at the other end of the National League table but their performances simply haven’t been up to scratch. With just 1 win from 5 across all competitions, confidence cannot be high coming into Saturday’s game and the hosts’ prospects of securing a result do not look bright at all.

Barnet building momentum

Meanwhile, after finishing well off the play-off pace last season, Barnet are hoping to break into the top 7 this campaign. On paper, they have some talented players that should really be contending at the top end of the National League but currently 11th, there’s still plenty of work to be done.

However, with games in hand on the sides around them and in excellent form, Barnet have every reason to believe they can launch a promotion assault and the gap between themselves and the play-offs could be down to just 1 point by the end of play on Saturday. With 4 consecutive wins behind them, the visitors will certainly be confident prior to making the short trip and 3 points is very clearly their objective.

Barnet have to be fancied

Ultimately, there can be no doubting who the favourites are in this clash and that’s Barnet. Aldershot aren’t in great shape, have no great form behind them and now face a visiting outfit that is stronger than them on paper and is in the midst of an excellent winning streak.

All things considered, we feel that backing an away win is the only way to play as far as the betting is concerned in this match and is something we’re more than happy to do with maximum confidence. Barnet have scored an average of 4 goals a game over their current winning streak and that kind of attacking firepower could well set them on their way to a 2-1 margin of victory.
