Barnet to Win & Over 2.5 Goals

On the basis of their dominant National League campaign, and the fact I'm tipping Newport to be relegated from League Two this season, backing Barnet and goals makes the most sense.

Barnet scored 97 goals last season in the National League and 91 the season before. I fancy them to have a good season where I have Newport finishing bottom of League Two.

I therefore want to back Barnet and over 2.5 goals at 2.50.

Joe Hugill to Score Anytime

Following on from my first prediction, I will also take youngster Joe Hugill to open his Barnet account on Tuesday.

Joe Hugill has joined on loan from Manchester United. He scored seven goals last season in separate loan spells with Wigan and Carlisle.

A tall presence up front, big things were expected from Hugill when he joined United's academy from Sunderland. He should benefit from the chances created by this Barnet side.

The first competitive game between two EFL sides takes place on Tuesday night as Barnet face Newport County in the Carabao Cup.

Barnet are favourites for this one, odds on at 1.75, whilst Newport can be backed at 4.8.

The bookies have over 2.5 goals as the marginal favourite at 1.85, whilst over 2.5 is 1.95.

🟠 Barnet are Back

The Bees are back in the EFL after a seven-year absence, after breaking the 100-point barrier in the National League last season. 

Dean Brennan is the man at the helm, having originally joined the club as Director of Football to oversee Harry Kewell’s reign, but ended up being given the manager's job just two months later.

He steered Barnet to an unbeaten home campaign last season. They don’t return to the EFL to the same fanfare as the likes of Wrexham, Notts County and Chesterfield, but there’s a chance they’ll be every bit as good.


New Era at Newport

Newport finished last season one place above the trapdoor, but the expected points table suggests they were lucky to survive, placed 24th. 

They have made changes to try and rectify that, bringing in former Manchester United coach David Hughes to replace Nelson Jardim, and even attracting Wales international Matt Smith to join the project. 

It will be interesting to see if those two and a raft of other new faces spark any improvement, but in my mind, I have them playing in the National League next season.


📊 Barnet v Newport H2H

These two sides had only met once prior to 2015, but have faced off nine times since then. 

Their most recent meeting was in the 2024 FA Cup, where the first leg was drawn 1-1 before Newport won the replay 1-4.
