League leaders Barnet are flying high at the start of the League Two campaign, with the Bees chasing a fourth consecutive victory in all competitions. The Bees followed up their impressive run with a 3-1 triumph over Shrewsbury in their most recent league outing and have been particularly prolific in front of their own fans. Barnet have scored an incredible 3.80 goals per game across their last five home matches, while Charlie Lakin has already found the net twice this season and will be one to watch again.
Cheltenham, on the other hand, arrive looking to bounce back from a 2-1 defeat to Swindon Town. The Robins created plenty of opportunities in that clash, registering 14 goal attempts, including six on target, but ultimately came away empty-handed. Defensive problems remain a concern, with Cheltenham conceding 1.90 goals per game across their last 10 matches. Ryan Broom could be handed a starting berth after scoring as a substitute against Swindon.
As Barnet made a flying start to the season, looking sharp up front, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Barnet Over 1.5 goals and Over 2.5 goals total (Barnet's matches have averaged 4.70 goals per game across their last 10).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 29 August 2026 at 12:30.
