Barnet vs Swindon Town Prediction & Betting Tips

Contrasting starts to the season

Barnet's league form this season has been about as good as it gets outside the top two divisions. Across their seven League Two games they've won four, drawn three and lost none, scoring 17 and conceding just 10. Chris Lakin has been central to that, with six goals in seven appearances, and Kwadwo Tshimanga has chipped in with four goals and four assists of his own.

Swindon's picture is far less settled. Three wins, one draw and three losses from their seven league games have left them mid-table, and their last two outings have both ended in defeat, at York and then at Salford. Aiden Drinan is doing plenty of the attacking work with five goals in seven, but the team around him has conceded 11 in that spell, more than Barnet by a clear margin.

Barnet arrive with real defensive solidity behind their goals, while Swindon are leaking more than they're scoring at present.

Comparative Team Statistics: Barnet vs Swindon Town

Recent meetings have gone either way

The last two competitive meetings between these sides split evenly. Swindon won 2-1 at Barnet back in February, and Barnet returned the favour with a 2-0 win at Swindon the previous August. Older results between the clubs stretch back over a decade and don't tell us much about how either side plays now.

Recent head-to-head form doesn't lean clearly either way, despite the current gap in league position.

Table tells its own story

Barnet currently top League Two with 15 points from seven games, having yet to lose. Swindon sit down in 13th on 10 points from the same number of matches. It's still early in the campaign, so this isn't a settled season-long picture, but the early gap between the two sides is sizeable.
