They are carrying good home form has while currently unbeaten in their last five at Griffin Park.

It has been some campaign from Barnet who are firmly down in the bottom half of the National League table. Even though they are away now at the Championship side, that is the exact same situation in which they found themselves in during the third round. The Bees paid a visit to Sheffield United and stunned the home crowd without 1-0 away win. Barnet have only suffered the one defeat in their last five games played now, winning two of those. The troubling thing for them, and while they put in a really spirited attacking performance at home against Brentford, their defence has shipped seven goals now in their last two fixtures. Across all competitions Barnet have won just two of their last five on hold, both of those victories, including their win at Sheffield United, being by a 1-0 scoreline.
