1st Prediction For Barnet vs Fleetwood Town: Barnet to win 9/10
Dean Brennan’s side bossed the National League last campaign and should be able to carry that momentum into the opening weeks of the season. The Bees amassed 102 points from their 46 league games whilst also having an excellent record at home, remaining unbeaten at the Hive during the league season. They have been able to retain key players Danny Collinge and Idris Kanu over the summer, when most thought they would depart, and they have added shrewdly with the likes of Adam Senior and Dennis Adeniran joining the club on a permanent basis. Many of their summer deals happened early in the window, meaning that the newly-revamped Bees squad has had a good amount of time to gel, which should also help them overcome their opponents on Saturday.
2nd Prediction For Barnet vs Fleetwood Town: Barnet to win and both teams to score: yes 29/10
Those looking for a riskier prediction should consider predicting Barnet to win and both teams to score as there are question marks over the fitness of a number of the Bees’ key defensive players. Owen Evans, who kept a remarkable 12 clean sheets in 18 games last campaign, has been struggling with niggling injuries throughout the entirety of preseason meaning that he has not been able to build as much fitness and confidence as he would have wanted to. Additionally, Nik Tavares was absent from Barnet’s matchday squad for their game against Newport. The Bees had a vastly improved defensive record when he played over 45 minutes last campaign and he will be a big loss. This may mean that Fleetwood’s high-quality frontline, which features the likes of Will Davies and James Norwood, is able to expose the Bees’ defence on occasion.
3rd Prediction For Barnet vs Fleetwood Town: Joe Hugill to score at any time: 19/5
Those who watched Barnet’s Carabao Cup preliminary round game against Newport County may or may not be surprised at this prediction. Hugill moved to the Hive on loan from Manchester United after a series of failed loans at other EFL and National League clubs which have seen him score just nine goals in men’s football. The 21-year-old missed a couple of fairly big chances against the Exiles, but he was getting into good positions, and Barnet’s side is stacked with creativity, provided by Idris Kanu, Ryan Glover and Zak Brunt. Hugill will certainly get chances against Fleetwood, its just a case of whether or not he is able to finish them.

Full Preview of the Game – Last Results and Head-To-Head
Barnet come into the season having stormed to the National League title last season. The Bees were one of the most dominant sides in the history of the fifth tier, ending the campaign with 102 points and registering comprehensive wins against other high quality sides like York City, Oldham Athletic and Rochdale. Dean Brennan has made it clear that he is looking for his team to continue their momentum and challenge for promotion even though it is the club’s first campaign in the EFL for a fair amount of time.
Fleetwood Town had a rather average campaign in the fourth tier last season. Following relegation from League One in 2023, the Fisherman started the campaign poorly under the stewardship of Charlie Adam. He was sacked and replaced by Pete Wild, who guided the team to a comfortable 14th placed finish. This season, Fleetwood will be looking to push on and regain their status as a third tier club as they have majorly strengthened their frontline by signing the likes of Will Davies, James Norwood and Ched Evans.
