Accrington Stanley vs Barnet Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

It’s a clash of two teams who both still have plenty to play for, as Accrington look to put some daylight between themselves and the drop zone and Barnet try to get back in among the play-off picture. For our tip we are backing there to be more goals in the second half than there are in the first, which is available at 21/20 with bet365. For our correct score tip we think that the inconsistencies of each team will once again shine through and we are backing an entertaining 2-2 draw at 12/1 with the same site.

Goals have been a pretty common theme in Accrington matches of late and their last four games have amassed an impressive 19 goals. Unfortunately for Stanley fans, they have only managed to claim six points from those games and a major factor of this seems to be coming from an inability to keep their opposition at bay in the second half. Of those 19 goals from the previous four games 11 of them have come in the second stanza.

It’s a problem that has dogged them all season long and 65.85% of all goals either scored or conceded by Accrington this season has come after the half time interval. This is a stat which is also shared by the visitors, who have seen 64.7% of all the goals scored in their away games scored in the second half.

We can also take heart in the head to head between these two sides, as of the previous five meetings there has been 10 second half goals scored compared to six scored in the opening period.
