History of the Bury v Barnet fixture

Barnet face a trip to Bury at Gigg Lane on Saturday afternoon, looking to break their duck against the hosts. Judging by past games, a draw is the most likely result for Bees.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in September 2006, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Bury have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. The The Shakers's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Barnet's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Bees, and 5 goals against.

Bury's 17 points from 13 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Barnet are just outside the promotion places, in 5th, having taken 23 points from 13 games.
