Bees buzzing under Brennan
Barnet’s solid mid-table position of 11th place in League Two (W17, D13, L12 from 42 games, 64 points) has been built on solid foundations by Dean Brennan, the manager who brought a tactical stability and clear attacking identity to the club back in 2021.
Brennan’s Bees are a team built to play with the ball, press high and transition quickly when they don’t have it. With Tshimanga leading the line, Barnet have a clear identity which makes them a threat to any team in the league.
Tshimanga has hit a rich vein of form of late, scoring 4 goals in Barnet’s last 5 games to take his tally to 13 in 40 League Two appearances this season. He’s not the only danger Barnet possess, but Barrow FC will have to watch him closely or risk being punished.
Foley’s Foxes still looking for identity
Sam Foley’s Barrow FC have been looking for their own identity since the head coach took the reins in March 2026, and he has prioritised defensive structure and work rate above all else.
The Foxes will sit deep and look to play with discipline, using direct play and set pieces to cause the opposition problems and hoping their directness will cause enough chaos that they can sneak a goal when the game ebbs and flows.
However, with Barrow FC in 23rd place in League Two with 33 points from 41 games, it seems obvious that something isn’t quite working, and the Foxes will be looking to build momentum at Barnet on Saturday to shake off the relegation danger.
Barnet can buzz past Barrow
Danny Rose has been the main spark for Barrow FC of late, scoring 2 of their last 3 goals in the past 5 matches. Josh Gordon is the club’s top scorer with 7 goals in 28 League Two appearances.
Barrow FC’s last two games have seen them draw 0-0 away at Milton Keynes Dons before losing 1-0 at home to Chesterfield, and the visitors have failed to win any of their last 3 away matches (D1, L2).
Barnet are much more likely to come out on top of this game given their form at home and in recent weeks. They are unbeaten in their last 5 matches, drawing 2-2 at home to Bromley and then hammering Fleetwood Town 5-2 away in their most recent outing. The Bees have won 8, drawn 6, and lost 7 of their 21 home games this term in League Two, scoring 29 goals and conceding 25.
Barrow can make this a good match
This game is a tale of two sides with clear identities but different goals. Barnet will want to dominate possession and press Barrow FC off the ball to control the game and force openings, while Barrow will want to frustrate Barnet and hit on the break.
The last head-to-head meeting between these two sides finished 2-2 at Barrow FC’s ground, and an open, high-scoring affair is expected.
Barnet averages 1.38 goals scored and 1.19 goals conceded per home game in League Two in 2025/2026, and with Brennan’s high-press system making them one of the most exciting sides in the division, over 2.5 goals at 9/10 and both teams to score at 9/10 look good options. With Barnet in such strong form, 11/20 is the selection for a home win.
