Exeter are still in the top six but they have been struggling at the back considerably lately. Still, their home form has stayed pretty solid and that could help guide them to points in this one. Barnet have lost back to back games going into this one and they are just above the drop zone on goal difference only and are feeling the pressure.

Exeter
FC StevenageExeter Form
Exeter are on a three-match winning streak it the league at St James’ Park which is a great return from them. They are W8 L3 overall on home soil in the division this season and it is at least compensating for the poor away form that they find themselves in at the moment. At the back, the Grecians have conceded under a goal per game so far at home this term and Exeter to win to nil should be a great option to weigh up. They have been ahead at the break in six of their eleven home games so could be reliable enough to back in a half-time/ full-time Exeter/Exeter option. They have won two of their last three home games to nil and they have scored exactly two goals in each of their last home wins, which should equate to decent options in the correct score market.
Barnet Form
Barnet are out of form with seven defeats in their last nine league games and only two wins since mid-September. It’s been some decline from them and they are only W2 D2 L8 for the season out on their travels as well. They are W1 L7 in their last eight away games and that is despite scoring in six of those eight games. Barnet lost at home against Cheltenham just before Christmas and then out at Cambridge on Boxing Day so are looking down the barrel of a third straight defeat which has happened twice to them already this season. They have actually averaged over a goal per game on the road this season but have shipped at a rate of 1.75 per away game. 67% of their away games have gone over 2.5 goals. They have conceded 67% of their away goals in the second half of matches and are without a clean sheet in any away game this season.
