Shrewsbury will be aiming to record their first win of the season when they welcome Barnet in League Two round two. The Shrews suffered a 2-0 defeat to Tranmere in their opener despite registering 15 goal attempts and 1.28 xG, suggesting that the attacking process was better than the final scoreline indicated. Shrewsbury have been considerably stronger at home recently, winning 50% of their last 10 overall home fixtures, and there are no fresh injury worries for the hosts.
Barnet, meanwhile, look unstoppable at the start of the campaign. The Bees defeated Salford City 3-1 in their League Two opener before producing an even more impressive 5-1 win over Arsenal U21 in the EFL Trophy. They have won seven of their last 10 matches and are averaging a remarkable 3.10 goals per game during that run. Barnet have also scored in every one of those 10 fixtures, with pacey winger Kabongo Tshimanga among the players making an excellent early impression.
Barnet have won seven of their last 10 matches, while Shrewsbury have managed just two wins in the same period. Given Barnet's splendid start to the season, Away Win should be considered, alongside Barnet Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Barnet's last 10 matches average a huge 4.70 goals, with the visitors scoring 3.10 per game).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 15:00.
