Barnsley Preview – Can Barnsley maintain unbeaten start?
Four points from their opening two matches of this new Championship season has seen Tuesday’s hosts, Barnsley, make an encouraging start to this new campaign following a 1-1 draw away from home at Cardiff City before Saturday’s hard-fought 1-0 home win over Coventry City at Oakwell.
Barnsley hold home advantage once again on Tuesday night where they’ll entertain Luton Town, so often relegation rivals in previous campaigns but both teams on the rise in recent times in the English second tier.
Although overall results have produced mixed returns for Barnsley, The Tykes have been tough to beat at Oakwell as the hosts have lost just two of their last 13 matches on home soil, while also keeping six clean sheets as well.
Luton Town Preview – Can Hatters bounce back?
Luton Town opened their account in last weekend’s season-opener in the Championship with a rousing 3-0 home win over new-boys, Peterborough United, but then quickly fell back down to earth following Saturday’s 3-2 loss at The Hawthorns against West Brom.
Nevertheless, Luton produced a spirited fightback against The Baggies as The Hatters found themselves 3-0 down before scoring two goals in the last 20 minutes to set up a nervy end to the game for the hosts and overall, Luton have lost just two of their last nine games in the second tier.
Results have been very inconsistent away from home though for the visitors and they head up to Yorkshire on the back of two losses on the trot on their travels, losing to QPR in their final away game of last season and Saturday’s loss at West Brom.
