History of the Barnet v Morecambe fixture

Barnet prepare to entertain Morecambe at Underhill Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bees are clearly on top, with a 60.00% success rate in the fixture.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Underhill Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2008, with Morecambe inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Bees in a League Two match.
