Barnet to Win

Reason for tip

Barnet ended last season in excellent form and look capable of carrying that momentum into their opener against Salford. Dean Brennan’s side won their final five League Two matches and scored at least twice in seven of their last eight, while they have lost just once in six at The Hive. Salford finished higher in the table, but they failed to score in three of their final four away games and have lost their opening league fixture in each of the last two seasons.

Barnet 2-0

Reason for tip

Barnet’s attacking form gives them every chance of winning this comfortably, while Salford’s recent struggles in front of goal on the road point towards a home clean sheet. The visitors have also tended to start seasons cautiously, with five of their last seven League Two openers going under 2.5 goals. Seven of Salford’s 15 defeats last season came by a two-goal margin, so a controlled 2-0 Barnet victory looks a solid correct-score option.

Barnet can pick up where they left off

Dean Brennan’s Barnet side should be backed to beat Salford at The Hive on Saturday. They are looking to carry on where they left off last season, having won their last five League Two matches, and have won their last two home games.

Salford finished fourth last season, with 81 points from 25 wins, six draws and 15 losses, while Barnet ended up eighth with 76 points, having won 21 games, drawn 13 and lost 12.

Barnet have been winners in four of their last six League Two home games.

The hosts have been in goalscoring form. Barnet scored at least twice in seven of their last eight League Two games to end last season, and they have scored in 16 of their last 18 league games.

The hosts are in good form at home, with just one defeat in Barnet’s last six League Two games on their own patch.

Salford’s recent League Two openers have not gone well, with defeats in each of the last two seasons.

The visitors are struggling to find the net. Salford have failed to score in three of their last four League Two away games.

A 2-0 win for Barnet looks the best correct-score bet. There have been under 2.5 goals in five of Salford’s last seven League Two openers and, last season, seven of their 15 defeats saw them on the wrong end of a two-goal deficit.
