The goal timing numbers for both teams point in the same direction: the game will come alive late on. Barnet score 26% of their goals in the 76-90 minute period, while Cheltenham Town score as many as 30% in the same period. But a concern for the visitors is the 31-45 minute period, where they concede 21% of all goals against, which is also the period where Barnet score the second most (22%). Both teams' recent form in League Two has been winning (Barnet won away at Shrewsbury Town 1-3 on 22 Aug, while Cheltenham Town just lost to Swindon Town 2-1 on 22 Aug). But this game Barnet are at home and the price opened with them as favourites at 0.75, with the line not moving. The first thing to watch after kick-off is whether Barnet can exploit the gap that Cheltenham Town leave unclosed in the 31-45 minute period, because that is the key to this game.
