Barnet prepare to entertain Chester City at Underhill Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 10 games played, Bees have recorded 4 wins, and Chester City have come away with 3 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Underhill Stadium was just last season, in October 2006, the Bees carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Barnet's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Bees have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Chester City's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Blues have hit 6 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Barnet are currently lying in 20th place in Coca-Cola League Two having mustered a points tally of 39 from their 34 matches played. Chester City find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 40 points from their 37 matches.
