Chelmsford City vs Barnet Predictions

• At least three goals have been scored in six of Chelmsford’s last nine home FA Cup matches
• At least three goals have been scored in five of Barnet’s last seven away FA Cup ties
• 27 goals have been scored in Barnet’s last four away games (average 6.75)

Chelmsford made Barnet pay for their misses

A thrilling FA Cup first-round replay could be o the cards when National League South promotion chasers Chelmsford host Barnet on Monday night.

The Bees, who are currently in the race to reach the National League playoffs, missed a great chance to kill off the tie at The Hive earlier this month when the Clarets made them pay for a succession of missed chances with a stoppage-time leveller.

The Essex side’s keeper had a very good afternoon and he might need another one here if Chelmsford are to make it into the hat for round two. Barnet’s approach to away fixtures can be interpreted just by looking at their recent results on the road, which include a 5-4 defeat to Dagenham and Redbridge and a 7-5 loss at Wrexham.

Bank on another Bees away goal blitz 

Wrexham have only conceded 18 goals in the league all season, so to ship five in one game suggests Barnet are an attacking force to be reckoned with.

Goals seem to be the way to go here as the oddsmakers cannot seem to split these sides in the match result market. At least three goals have been scored in the majority of Chelmsford’s recent home FA Cup ties and also Barnet’s away trips in this competition.

Although Chelmsford have been very good at home recently, they were very much second best in the first game between these clubs, so a 2-1 away win is forecast. Barnet have won their last two away league games on the bounce and have scored multiple goals on each occasion.
