Preview: Boreham Wood vs. Barnet - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Sunday's National League clash between Boreham Wood and Barnet, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

For the second time in 16 days, Boreham Wood will face Barnet, although on this occasion the contest will take place in the National League.

Boreham Wood will be aiming to continue their promotion push on Sunday, as they aim to close the two-point gap that separates themselves from the league leaders Chesterfield.

Sunday's hosts could not be in better form as they enter the contest off the back of three consecutive victories, which included a 3-2 victory over Barnet last time out.

On that occasion, Tyrone Marsh impressed by scoring a hat-trick to send the Wood into the fourth round of the FA Trophy.

That result gave Luke Garrard's side their second victory over Barnet this season after they beat the Bees 1-0 in a National League fixture in October, and the Wood will be aiming for a clean sweep over their opponents on Sunday.

Their home form this season suggests that Boreham Wood could be heading for another victory on Sunday, with Garrard's side yet to taste defeat on home turf this term.

As for Barnet, a run of three consecutive victories was ended in their last league encounter when Adi Yussuf struck to guide Yeovil Town to a 1-0 victory.

Unfortunately for the Bees, another defeat followed as they lost 3-2 to Boreham Wood, with the Bees looking for revenge on Sunday.

Having won three of their last five away games, interim boss Dean Brennan may be quietly confident that his side can finally get one over on Boreham Wood this season.

Although, Barnet's last two trips to Meadow Park have ended goalless, which suggests the best the Bees can hope for is a point.

Having conceded two or more goals only once in their last 12 league games, Brennan will be hopeful that his side can at the very least hold Boreham Wood to a draw.
