Barnet prepare to entertain Grimsby Town at Underhill Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. There have only been 1 against the opposition from the 4 matches played by the Bees.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Underhill Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2009, when they fought out a thrilling high-scoring 3-3 draw in a League Two match.
