The club friendly fixture between Barnet vs Norwich City will take place at The Hive Stadium on Wednesday at 12:00 pm IST.
Barnet and Norwich City are set to kickstart their preparations for the upcoming 2023-24 season with a pre-season friendly at the Hive Stadium on Tuesday evening. Barnet, who have been competing in the National League for five consecutive seasons, are getting ready for their sixth year in the league. On the other hand, Norwich City aims to make a strong comeback and secure promotion to the Premier League for the 2024-25 season.
Barnet experienced a close call with relegation from League Two before dropping down to the National League in the 2012-13 season. However, they swiftly returned to the higher division after just two years. Their recent attempts to regain their League Two status have been inconsistent. Managed by Dean Brennan, Barnet achieved a fifth-place finish in the 2022-23 season, securing a playoff spot. Unfortunately, they were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Boreham Wood. Despite a poor run of form, with only one victory in their last nine games, Barnet showed improvement compared to their previous four seasons outside the top 10. As part of their preparations, they will face Hemel Hempstead, MK Dons, Crystal Palace, and Cambridge United before the end of July.
Both Barnet and Norwich City experienced disappointment in their promotion bids. Norwich City’s manager, David Wagner, stressed the need for his players to be prepared for challenges ahead. Wagner, previously successful with Huddersfield Town, couldn’t replicate that success at Norwich as they finished a disappointing 13th in the Championship. Norwich’s four-year pattern of promotion and relegation between the Premier League and Championship ended with a mid-table finish. Their final six games resulted in no wins and three consecutive losses. They enter the new season without their long-serving striker Teemu Pukki, who joined Minnesota United. Barnet and Norwich have met once before, with Norwich winning 5-2 in the 2007-08 EFL Cup, featuring a goal from Barnet’s Jason Puncheon.
Barnet probable starting lineup: Walker, Granville, Oluwo, Collinge, Beard, Kanu, Armstrong, Gorman, Barratt, Stead, Kabamba
Norwich City probable starting lineup: Krul, Mumba, Omobamidele, Sorensen, McCallu, Gibbs, Sara, Rowe, Sainz, Barnes, Hernandez
