Barnet – Brentford, FA Cup Prediction

Barnet is a team from the National League, where there are no professional teams. They came here after a shocking victory over Sheffield United as a guest in the 3rd round and actually this is the first time in this phase of this small team since 2008 and a 3^rd one in their short history in the FA Cup. They do not do well in their league and are very far from the top, but they have a lot of passion in the FA Cup games. At home have 4 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 games.

Brentford does also not play at the highest level in Championship this season, but is currently in good shape and has scored many goals lately, including Brentford’s last two games with a total of 10 goals. They now have the opportunity to know that Barnet is quite dangerous and Sheffield United did not lost from them by accident, so Brentford can not afford underestimation.

It is quite logical that the last matches between Barnet and Brentford are long time ago and almost all of them are in League 2. From then until now one of them has grown a lot in the English divisions, while Barnet does not even compete with the professionals. Since it is difficult to guess exactly how the two teams will be approaching, we rely on Brentford’s high goal scoring form and their more offensive style showed of them lately. Prediction – Over 2.0 Goals AGL at 1.46.
