Venue (City, Stadium) | The Hive Stadium, London |
League Two's runaway early pacesetters host a side still finding its feet as Barnet welcome Accrington to The Hive on Saturday, with the home team our clear favourites in this fixture.
Barnet sit third and arrive unbeaten in six across all competitions, having drawn 3-3 away at Chesterfield, with Kabongo Tshimanga among the scorers. Dean Brennan also collected the League Two Manager of the Month award for August.
Accrington, down in 19th, finally got going last time out. A Charlie Caton brace inspired a 3-2 home win over Crawley Town at the Wham Stadium, their first league victory of the campaign.
Recent history is tight between these two. There have been under 2.5 goals in six of the last seven meetings between Barnet and Accrington in all competitions, a note that jars with both teams' free-scoring form.
Barnet vs Accrington Form
Barnet are third and have been ruthless in front of goal, scoring at least twice in 10 of their last 11 League Two outings, with over 2.5 goals landing in 10 of those 11. The one blot is a run of three straight League Two draws. Tshimanga leads the line and remains the main goal threat.
Accrington sit 19th but do not lack for goals. There have been over 2.5 goals in nine of their last 10 League Two games, and they have found the net at least twice in each of their last three. The problem is at the back, having shipped two or more in 11 straight League Two matches. Caton is the danger man up top.

Barnet vs Accrington Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: This is a comfortable home favourite. Barnet are firing at one end and Accrington are leaking at the other, so we make it a 2-0 win for the hosts. Our Barnet vs Accrington prediction backs the home side to control this one.
Best Bets
Back Barnet striker Kabongo Tshimanga in the Anytime Goalscorer market. Tshimanga leads the line for the home favourites, who are projected to score over two goals against an Accrington side that has conceded at least twice in 11 consecutive League Two matches. That defensive frailty makes the Barnet frontman a strong shout among our Barnet vs Accrington best bets.
Select Barnet defender Adam Senior in the To Score Or Assist market. Barnet's attacking plan leans on aggressive wing play and plenty of crosses, which runs straight into Accrington's clear weakness defending down the flanks. Senior has started every match this season and is well placed to chip in with a goal or an assist.
Barnet vs Accrington Bet Builder
Our four-leg Barnet vs Accrington bet builder tips pull together Charlie Lakin as an anytime scorer, over 1.5 Accrington goals, both teams to score and the Barnet or draw double chance.
Charlie Lakin has scored in three of his last five League Two appearances and has attempted three or more shots in four of those five, so the winger to net looks a fair opener.
Over 1.5 Accrington goals is on solid ground, with Stanley having scored at least twice in each of their last three League Two matches.
Both teams to score fits a game between two open sides, with Accrington racking up 26 or more shots in each of their last five League Two outings.
The Barnet or draw double chance covers us nicely, given the hosts have drawn each of their last three League Two fixtures.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 19/2 and is as short as 8/1 elsewhere.

Barnet vs Accrington Talking Points
The Barnet vs Accrington betting odds tell the story of a mismatch on current form. Dean Brennan has the hosts flying, third in the table and fresh from his League Two Manager of the Month award for August, which he dedicated to the collective efforts of the club's board, staff, players and supporters. Accrington finally sparked into life through Charlie Caton, whose brace saw off Crawley Town for their first league win of the season, lifting them off the bottom of the pile. That result offers hope, but stopping a Barnet attack this sharp is a very different task, especially with Stanley shipping two or more in 11 League Two games running.
