The Bees can’t seem to stop the rot at the moment and have now put together a three-match losing streak which has side then slide well down the table. Their defence just isn’t passing any tests at the moment which will put them at risk against Coventry. The Sky Blues are flying along with a win in all but one of their last six league games and they have been going along well enough to be going into this one away from home as 6/5 favourites at bet365 to win the fixture, with Barnet at 21/10.
Barnet Form
This is what you call a slide in form. Barnet are winless in their last five league games now with a D1 L4 record and their defence has been at sixes and sevens. They are on a three-match losing streak which started at home against Crawley before losing back to back away games at Lincoln and Wycombe. At home so far this season, Barnet have only gone W2 L3 so they will be feeling the pressure. They are without a clean sheet in any of their last nine and have conceded at least two in four of the last five played.
Coventry Form
The Sky Blues are flying right now with a W5 L1 record in their last six. They have won their last three on the bounce after beating Crewe last weekend. Defensively they have been fantastic with five clean sheets in their last seven games which will suggest of course that they can keep an out-of-form Barnet at arm’s length. Coventry are W2 D1 L2 out on the road and their 2-1 victory at Swindon in their last away games snapped a three-match winless streak away from the Ricoh for them. Coventry have yet to be ahead at half-time in an away game this season.

Top Betting Tips
Little doubt that it is Coventry who are carrying the form out of these two sides and have to be value in this one. Barnet’s defence is letting them down badly at the moment, but because the home side are scoring and because Coventry haven’t been as good on the road as they have been at home, back both teams to score in the fixture, but for the visitors to come out on top.
