How are Barnet and Swindon Town playing right now?
Barnet go into Tuesday's League Two fixture unbeaten in their last six, four wins and two draws for 14 points, while Swindon Town have taken two points from their last six and lost four of them. Barnet have scored two or more in five of those six.
Their last two were both won on the road: 3-1 at Bristol Rovers on 10 October and 2-1 at Tranmere Rovers on 17 October. At home in this run they are two from two, 3-1 against Fleetwood Town and 2-1 against Accrington Stanley.
Swindon's run reads the other way. They failed to score in four of the six, and the heaviest of those was a 0-4 defeat away to York City on 12 September.
Is Barnet's scoring run the whole story?
Barnet have kept no clean sheets in their last six League Two matches and have conceded eight goals, with both sides scoring in all six, so Swindon Town should get sight of goal at The Hive even on this form. Barnet's 3-3 draw away to Chesterfield on 5 September is the clearest example.
The problem for Ian Holloway's side is converting that. Swindon have managed two goals in six games, and both of their points came from 1-1 home draws, against Accrington Stanley on 26 September and Walsall on 17 October. Their away results in the run were 0-1 at Rochdale, 0-1 at Salford City and that 0-4 at York City.
Both teams played on 17 October, three days before this one.
Barnet vs Swindon Town team news
Barnet forward Jack Maskell is serving a three-match ban after admitting a violent conduct charge for an incident in the 3-1 win at Bristol Rovers on 10 October, and the suspension covers this game, per Yahoo Sports. Swindon Town's list is longer: Paul Glatzel, Fletcher Holman, Harry Smith, Ollie Palmer, Ben Middlemas and Danny Butterworth were all reported out ahead of the Walsall game, with Holloway weighing a more counter-attacking shape because of the absences, according to Swindon Town News.
Barnet vs Swindon Town prediction
Barnet should beat Swindon Town in this League Two fixture at The Hive Stadium on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, and our prediction is a 2-0 home win. Barnet have scored two or more in five of their last six and won both home games in that run. Swindon have scored twice in six matches and have not won any of them.
The one thing that argues against the clean sheet is Barnet's own record: no shut-outs in six. Swindon's finishing is the reason to doubt they punish it.
Our prediction: Barnet 2-0 Swindon Town
