History of the Margate v Barnet fixture

Barnet face a trip to Margate at Crabble on Tuesday evening, and will hope to continue their unbeaten record at the ground. Out of their two previous meetings, the Bees have won one, and drawn the other.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in September 2002, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Conference match.

Recent respective form guides

Margate's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Gate have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Barnet's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Bees have hit 10 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Margate are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 8 points from 9 matches. Barnet's total of 18 points from their 9 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Nationwide Conference.
