The Bees have produced a mixed bag of form at home this season in League Two and that will leave punters scratching their head as to what to do with them. They have been pretty inconsistent throughout the season home and away actually. But then they are facing Crawley at the Hive Stadium with the Reds currently winless in their last three and still struggling along at the wrong end of the table. This could be a tighter game than expected though and Barnet are odds-on at 17/20 to win this game with Crawley out at 3/1.

Barnet FC
Crawley Town FCBarnet Form
The Bees have posted a W3 D2 L3 record for the season in League Two and at home they have gone W2 D2. They suffered a loss in their last home game, going down 2-1 against Exeter. Barnet have only collected the one clean sheet this season. There hasn’t been one from them in any of their last six games and that could give Crawley an opening. Everything just looks pretty average with the Bees at the moment, there’s no real standout stat that is going to suggest that this will be particularly easy.
Crawley Form
Crawley have collected four points from four away games this season in the division and that has just helped them stay away from the drop zone. Defensively they aren’t all that bad at all, and only two of their five defeats have been what you could call heavy losses (3-1 defeats to Port Vale and Colchester). They just haven’t been packing enough punch going forward. In six of their eight league games this season Crawley have either scored one goal or nothing.
Head to Head News
The last three between these at the Hive Stadium have gone over the 2.5 goal line so that’s something to consider here. From those four games, Barnet holds a W2 D1 L1 record. Crawley have actually struck exactly two goals in each of their last three visits there including in a 2-2 draw there last season. There were two draws between them last season and from six previous League Two match ups, things are even with two wins in each and two drawn matches.
Top Betting Tips
There could be a lively encounter going on at the Hive Stadium in this one and Crawley can put up a fight in this one. However, Barnet’s home defeats happened against sides much better off than Crawley are and the Bees can get over the line to three points. The home side to win by just a one-goal margin though looks value.
