LV Bet Stat Pack - Live BT Sport Match

It’s fair to say the season so far hasn’t panned out how Barnet of AFC Fylde hoped it would back in August.

The Coasters were high up in the title betting while the Bees, who took big strides last season, were also thinking of promotion back to the EFL.

Both sit in the bottom half of the table but both also know it’s far from too late to get a run together - Saturday’s winner will start to fancy their chances of a New Year promotion push.

Under new manager Jim Bentley, Fylde are much improved. They haven’t won three National League games back-to-back this season and that is their aim in front of the cameras.

Barnet lack consistency but have won two of their last three home games. Last time out they put five past Ebbsfleet with Sim Akinola grabbing a hat-trick.

Fylde, though, are good away from home lately. They have won their last three on their travels and return to the capital a week after history-making FA Cup success at Kingstonian.

All eyes will be on north London to see if either club can make a statement.
