Key Men
With 11 goals so far this season, Richard Butcher has emerged as Notts main threat this season. The ex-Peterborough man does not light the game up but he finds those spaces around the area and with 11 goals so far he is a midfield player with an eye for goal. Barnet will have to be wary of Butcher’s runs into the area because he as the ability to score goal around the edge of the area.
Barnet have former stag’s striker Adam Birchall who has been in good form lately, contributing 9 goals in total this season. The Notts defence will have to keep an eye on the Barnet striker around the area because he also looks shooting at goal with 54 shots on or off target this season in the league.
Prediction
We at www.youpies.co.uk think this will be a close game. Notts need to beat the teams that are below or around them from now to the end of the season. So we think the score will be
Notts County 2-0 Barnet
