THE PREDICTION

Barnsley remain in the playoff places, but after failing to win in their last two league matches, it is vital that they get back on track against Luton. The Hatters were beaten 2-0 by Derby at the weekend, but with home advantage in their favour here they’ll be looking to bounce back themselves. Luton games are often short of goals and with both teams here adopting a playstyle that involves stifling the opposition of time and space, the two may end up cancelling each other out. Therefore under 2.5 goals scored over the course of 90 minutes for what would be the fifth straight league game involving Luton appears to be the shrewd play.
