Following a six-goal thriller in the first game, Brentford and Barnet prepare for round two as a place in the fifth round of the FA Cup hangs in the balance.
Barnet followed up their 3-3 draw against Brentford with yet another six-goal draw – this time against Carshalton in the FA Trophy. Brentford, on the other hand, took out their frustrations on poor old Blackburn who they beat 5-2 at Griffin Park.
Thomas Frank’s side are in good form and are unbeaten in their last nine games across all competitions. What’s more, the Bees seem to have found their scoring boots with the side scoring 15 goals in their last four games.
Away from their FA Cup successes, Barnet’s league form has been disappointing. The team is currently 17th in the National League table having won just 10 of their 26 games this season. With that in mind, it is no surprise to see the visitors as the 20/1 underdogs.
Despite the immense price, Barnet are the recommendation in this game. Darren Currie’s side have already beaten a Championship opponent when they knocked out Sheffield United from the FA Cup in a 1-0 win at Bramall Lane. On that day, Barnet were priced at 13/1 and were also taking on a side in great form.
An alternative bet could be to back Barnet in the double chance market. The National League side are currently priced at 9/2 to either get a win or a draw in regular time.
