Barnet

Barnet is a team of very modest level by the standards of English football. Now they play only in the fifth strongest division of the country, but even in this tournament, they are far from the leading roles. At the end of last season, they finished only in fifth place in the standings, which allowed them to get into the playoffs and try to get promoted. Still, in the end, they lost already in the quarter-final to Boreham Wood - 1:2. The team is now back in the National League, having already played two friendlies in the summer: firstly, they drew 1:1 with Norwich and then beat Hemel Hempstead 1:0.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace is still a club of the elite English division, although, during last season, there were serious concerns about the fate of the capital club, which had every chance to go to the championship. Thankfully, during the championship, the post of head coach of Londoners once again appeared Roy Hodgson, who, at 75 years of age, quickly sorted out the players' problems, achieving tremendous progress from them. In ten rounds under his leadership, they scored 18 points (6th result in the EPL), which allowed them to leave the relegation zone, reaching 11th place in the standings. At the same time, in the summer, they have not played a single game yet.

Expert Betting Tips

Barnet and Crystal Palace are opponents of such different levels that it is too naive to compare them. If the hosts represent only the fifth strongest division in England, the guests play in the elite, and in the final stretch of last season, they spent at a very high level. They will have to show their strength, despite the first match in the pre-season. The last time the Eagles played with the Bees four years earlier, losing - 2:6, so now it's time to take a convincing revenge on the opponent.

Barnet and Crystal Palace play each other consistently every four years. In July 2015, the Eagles beat the opponent - 5:3, and at the equator of the summer of 2019, the Bees were stronger already - 6:2. Judging by the results, the face-to-face confrontation between these teams is destined to be rich in goals and emotions, so there should be no problems with performance in the upcoming battle. The hosts gradually get into the game's rhythm, while the guests are bored with football after the rest and will try to play beautifully and spectacularly.
