Barnet vs Crewe Alexandra Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

We are backing Barnet to score more in the second half than they do in the first half for our tip and this is available at an attractive 11/8 with bet365. For our correct score tip we think that Crewe should have enough in the locker to claim the win and are backing them at 10/1 to come away with a 2-1 victory.

Barnet have very much been a second half team this season and have scored 73% of their league goals in the second so far this term. That stat is further improved when we look at the fact that they have scored just eight goals in the whole of the opening 45 minutes, a figure which is matched in their goals scored between the 76-90th minute.

Crewe’s defensive record has seen them keep a fairly tight ship this season but they have only managed to keep a clean sheet in 25% of their league fixtures so far this campaign. Another thing which will be cause for concern for boss Steve Davis is the Alex’s slump in form and although most of the defeats have come in cup competition he will be looking to ensure that it doesn’t slip into their league form.

Most of the goals that Crewe have conceded have come in the second half too but the margins are fairly tight. They have conceded nine times in the first half and 11 times in the second half which is perhaps why the odds are a bit more generous than we might otherwise expect.
