Barnet can continue their rise up the table by beating Hartlepool

National League
BT Sport 2, 4.30pm Sunday

Barnet have recovered reasonably well since a poor start to the season saw them take just two points from their first five games, and they can edge closer to the National League playoff places by beating Hartlepool at Victoria Road.

John Still's Bees have won four of their last six away league games and drew 1-1 at home to Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup first round.

Hartlepool also drew against Sky Bet League One opposition last weekend (0-0 at Gillingham) but they are heading back towards mid-table in the league after three successive defeats.

Recommendation
Barnet
