📰 Team News: Luton Town
Luton Town manager Nathan Jones will be happy not to have any fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this clash thanks to a completely healthy squad available for selection.
📰 Team News: Barnsley
Owing to an otherwise healthy group of players, there is just the sole fitness issue for the Barnsley boss Valérien Ismaël to be concerned about. Ben Williams (Cruciate Ligament Injury) won’t be playing here.
🧠 Prediction
In our opinion, Luton Town will need to push hard to break down this Barnsley lineup who will likely score at least once to gain the upper hand.
With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 winning score for Barnsley at the end of the 90 minutes.
Let’s see.
