Barnet vs AFC Fylde Predictions

• Barnet beat Fylde 4-0 when the pair met in October.
• The hosts have only lost three times at home this season.
• The visitors have lost half of their away games.
• Fylde arrive as the form favourites and will be looking to cause an upset.

Barnet have fond memories of October’s clash with Fylde

Barnet thrashed Fylde when the pair met for their reverse league fixture in October but the visitors have improved since then and have only lost one of their last nine matches in all competitions. Both teams scored in four of Barnet’s last six matches and Fylde have only failed to score in one of their last six outings, so you can start to see why we have backed both teams to score and Barnet to win this weekend.

Barnet have won five of their home games this season and Fylde have lost six of their away games, with the hosts averaging 1.58 points per home game and the visitors averaging 1.00 points per away game. Barnet score an average of 1.58 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.17 goals and Fylde score an average of 1.33 goals per away game and concede an average of 1.83 goals, all of which adds weight to our prediction for a 2-1 Barnet victory on Saturday.

Barnet’s home games produce an average of 2.75 goals and Fylde’s away games produce an average of 3.17 goals, providing more reason to expect at least three goals scored when these two sides meet, and both teams scored in 58% of Barnet’s home games and 75% of Fylde’s away games this season.

The visitors are in good form and won’t go down without a fight

Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 58% of Banet’s home games and in 67% of Fylde’s away games so far this season, while five of Barnet’s wins have been obtained with a one-goal margin which is a majority of the hosts league victories. Barnet won’t be expecting as easy of a game as they did when they faced Fylde in October as it is the visitors who head into Saturday’s clash as the form favourites with four wins from their last five matches.

We’re confident that both teams will score on Saturday and we have predicted final scoreline of 2-1 in Barnet’s favour. The hosts have been at their strongest at home while Fylde have looked vulnerable on the road this season but do head into Saturday’s clash in good form. We are expecting a close and competitive ninety-minute but believe Barnet will come out on top, just.
