History of the Barnet v Northampton Town fixture

Barnet are ready to welcome Northampton Town to Underhill Stadium on Monday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bees are clearly on top, having won 6 and lost only 2 of the 10 games.

The previous match played between the two at Underhill Stadium was more than three years back, in December 2006, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a F.A. Cup match.

Recent respective form guides

Barnet have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. These low-scoring games have seen just 5 goals scored and conceded.

Northampton's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Cobblers's have scored 10 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 12.

Barnet see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 27 points from their 22 games played so far, Northampton find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 25 points from their 22 matches.
