Even though Barnet managed to stop their winless rot in midweek with a much-needed and unexpected win out at Newport, they are still in the bottom two of League Two heading into the weekend. But will that victory be the turning point for them to start climbing again? Grimsby are hovering just around the mid-table mark but have been struggling to land any kind of consistency and have found the wins hard to come by recently. Barnet are 15/13 favourites to win the match with Grimsby at 3.

Grimsby TownBarnet Form
After a twelve match winless streak of form during which only four points were collected, Barnet finally managed to get a win on the board. They went to Newport in midweek and took a battling 2-1 victory against the odds against the Exiles. It was two goals in the last two minutes which saw Barnet get the win. Their home form reads W2 D3 L4 for the season and they are winless in their last six at The Hive Stadium with a D3 L3 record in the sequence. They have only scored more than one goal in just one home fixture this term. Needless to say, just 33% of their home games have gone over 2.5 goals this season so under the goal line makes sense. Can the Bees land back to back wins for just the second time this season?
Grimsby Form
Grimsby have actually not had a bad time of things since September, but they are still struggling to put wins on the board. They have won just one of their last five and that came in a 3-2 home win over Swindon in midweek. They needed that too as it snapped a two-match losing streak that they were on. They have gone unbeaten in three of their last four away games (W2D1), taking one-goal margin victories at Park Vale and Cheltenham, so that at least is some kind of positive for them. It’s part of a W4 D1 L4 record they have produced this season out on the road. They do have three clean sheets in their last seven, but their defence has just started to struggle a bit since November rolled around, with none in their last three.
Head to Head News
Last season it was Barnet on top in the head to head against Grimsby as they collected four points from their two games. Both games incidentally produced four goals each and that has been the case in each of the last four meetings between the two clubs. Barnet won this game 3-1 last season, a game which was played just back in April. Overall it is Grimsby who leads the head to head with an 11-4 lead over the Bees with two drawn matches.
Top Betting Tips
With Barnet still having to do a lot to prove that they have turned the corner, the value is in backing the Mariners to go and snatch a win in this one. They have current head to head form over the Bees and have done more winning out on the road recently than Barnet have done at home. Away win.
