The Bees failed to make a move on Tuesday night as they could only play out a 1-1 draw with Mansfield. But the point keeps them free of concerns about falling into the bottom two anytime soon really. But they are still sitting closer to the bottom two than they are to mid-table so need to up their game. Yeovil’s patchy form continued in midweek as they made the trip to Cambridge and failed to pick up a point. That’s back to back away losses for them now so they won’t be relishing this trip. Barnet are 10/11 odds-on at Sky Bet for the win, with Yeovil at 3/1.

Yeovil TownBarnet Form
Barnet are two places and two points behind Yeovil going into this one and it has been a long time since they were celebrating a win. They have gone D3 L5 in their last eight games and the wheels have well and truly come off their season. They are winless in four at home now but have drawn their last two there. Overall their home form reads W2 D2 L3. The Bees haven’t managed more than one goal in a game in any of their last eight outings now and that is hurting them. They are averaging exactly one goal per game at home this term.
Yeovil Form
You just don’t know what to expect from the Glovers who have gone W2 D1 L3 in their last six games, but if you focus in on their away form then the picture becomes a little clearer. They haven’t been great on the road this season with a poor W1 D0 L6 record under their belt and they are winless in their last two away from home. They have conceded exactly two goals in each of their last five away games and at least two in all seven of their road games this season. That puts them in a hole to start with.
Head to Head News
If recent history between these two is anything to go by, there should be goals in this. Last season there was a 2-2 draw between them at Barnet and each of the last three between them at Barnet has yielded over 2.5 goals in each. Four of the last six between these sides have produced a least four goals in the game. From the four previous League Two meetings, things are even with two draws (both 2-2) and a win each.
Top Betting Tips
Yeovil just can’t be trusted out on the road to produce a result in this one, not with the goals that they have given up lately. So it’s worth rolling with the Bees at home in this one to collect the win and you may as well have a flutter over 2.5 as well, as the Yeovil defence can help Barnet get out of their scoring slump.
