Barnet will be aiming to make amends for a 2-1 EFL Cup defeat to Cambridge United when they welcome Salford City to the Hive Stadium. The Bees had been on a five-game winless run during pre-season before that loss, but their overall numbers suggest they remain a dangerous attacking side. Barnet have won seven of their last 10 matches, scoring an impressive 2.7 goals per game, while BTTS landed in 90% of those outings. They have also scored in every one of their last 10. Tom Knowles, Charlie Lakin, Will Wright, and Zac Williams are among the summer arrivals.
Salford, meanwhile, will be hoping to bounce back from their EFL Cup loss to Shrewsbury. The Lions have been more consistent than their opponents recently, losing only twice in their last 10 matches. However, their attacking numbers away from home are less impressive, with just 0.8 goals scored per game and 60% of their away matches ending with a failure to score. Joe Powell and Will Aimson have both signed permanent deals as Salford look to strengthen their squad. The H2H record strongly favours the visitors, with Salford winning three of the four previous meetings.
Considering that Barnet's matches average a huge 4.2 goals across their last 10, we are tempted to place our bets on Over 2.5 goals, alongside Both Teams to Score and Over 1.5 goals (75% H2H).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 15 August 2026 at 15:00.
