Barnet – Northampton

Barnet host a struggling Northampton side in what promises to be a decisive clash in the lower half of the table. Sitting top of the league with 12 points from three wins and three draws, Barnet have already out‑scored opponents 14‑9 and will be eager to extend their unbeaten run. Northampton, languishing in 17th place with just six points from one victory, three draws and two defeats, have managed only three goals while conceding five, highlighting the gulf in attacking potency. The head‑to‑head record this season heavily favours the home side, and a win would cement Barnet’s grip on the summit while pushing Northampton deeper into the relegation battle.
