Footymad preview History of the Barnet v Northampton Town fixture

Northampton Town face a trip to Barnet at Underhill on Friday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Cobblers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 7 and win only 3 of the 13 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Underhill was just last season, in October 2011, with Northampton Town inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Bees in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Barnet's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Bees have scored 5, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Northampton Town's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Cobblers have hit 7 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Barnet find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 12 games have yielded only 3 points.

Northampton Town's 16 points from 12 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
