EFL League Two Matchday 7: Game of the Week Preview
Barnet v Fleetwood Town is our Game of the Week, with the two sides meeting at The Hive after making strong starts to their League Two campaigns.
Barnet have enjoyed an unbeaten run in their last five league matches. After opening the season with a 3-1 home victory over Salford City, the Bees followed that up with a 3-1 win away at Shrewsbury Town. They then drew 2-2 with Cheltenham Town and 1-1 away at Exeter City, before sharing six goals in a 3-3 draw at Chesterfield.
Fleetwood Town have also made an encouraging start, with two wins and three draws from their opening five league fixtures. The Cod Army began with a 1-0 victory away at Chesterfield and followed that with goalless draws against Gillingham and then at home to Oldham Athletic. A 2-2 draw at Grimsby Town came next, before Fleetwood returned to winning ways with a 2-0 home victory over Shrewsbury Town.
With both sides unbeaten in their last five league outings, the meeting promises to be a closely contested encounter, with Barnet’s attacking form set to be tested by a Fleetwood side that has conceded just three goals in its opening five league matches.
