Stat Attack
- Barnet lost their only previous EFL meeting against Bromley by a 2-0 result in August 2025, albeit away at Copperjax Stadium.
- Bromley are making their first EFL visit to Barnet, but are unbeaten in their last six league visits to the Bees (W3, D3).
- Barnet failed to keep a clean sheet at home to Bromley in their six clashes at The Hive in the National League.
- Daniele Collinge has scored in Barnet’s last two matches (W2).
- Bromley are yet to concede in a London derby in League Two (W3), across which they’ve scored five goals in three London derbies in the division.
Prediction
Having done Bromley a huge favour by beating MK Dons and Cambridge United in their last two matches, Barnet certainly have found renewed momentum and are now right back in the play-off hunt but this is a tough test because they can claim another huge scalp if continue to play as well as they’re doing.
Bromley though are coming into this game off the back of a shock defeat at Barrow where their attack simply didn’t take their chances, yet they defensively didn’t seem to know how to deal with brutal winds and adapt their tactics to overcome that conditions which is a slight worry.
Nevertheless this is a London derby and given Bromley’s perfect league record against London opposition since their promotion into the EFL without conceding, they will have motivation to bounce back and preserve that particular statistic to move closer towards sealing promotion.
Although some neutrals would love the idea of Barnet beating another top team, I just think that it would be typical for them to lose this against fellow London opposition, who coincidentally are sat at the top of the league and have been effectively helped by them in the past fortnight.
Prediction: Barnet 1-2 Bromley
Result: Barnet 2-2 Bromley
