MATCH PREVIEW | AFC FYLDE

The Bees play host to AFC Fylde tomorrow afternoon in the Vanarama National League, looking to make it six wins in a row at The Hive in the 2024/25 season.

Barnet FC:

In our last league fixture in the current season, it was Aldershot who were next to fall to defeat to the hands of the Bees. In a narrow encounter at the EBB Stadium, it was Nicke Kabamba’s first half header which made the difference, making his first start in a while with the winning goal. The hosts also found themselves down to ten men when captain Aaron Jones was sent off for a late challenge on Idris Kanu. A goalless second half ensured the Bees registered the fourth win in a row heading into this weekend.
