Our prediction for this Championship match:
Luton Town play host to Barnsley at their Kenilworth Road in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Tuesday’s program. The Hatters do not want to give up on their playoffs dream, and they are eager to move closer to top six in the Championship standings. Luton impressed in a 3-0 FA Cup win over Cambridge at the weekend, and they are surely capable of beating Barnsley in front of home fans.
Elijah Adebayo misses out with injury, while both Jordan Clark and Sonny Bradley are rated doubtful for the game. The Tykes, on the other hand, are on a five-game losing run in the English second tier. Considering that Barnsley failed to find the net in the previous four matches in all competitions, home win should be considered. The likes of Odour, Adeboyejo, Brittain, and Woodrow are likely to miss the game with injuries.

Highlighted Team (Barnsley):
Barnsley are an English club nicknamed the Tykes. The club was founded in 1887 and it has to be noted that they spend more seasons in the Championship than any other club in the history. The Tykes played in the Sheffield and District League from 1890, but in 1895 they were part of the Midland League. Barnsley play their home games at Oakwell, the stadium that was built in 1887.
The capacity of the stadium is 23,009 and it was opened back in 1888, just one year after the club’s foundation. The Tykes made it to the FA Cup final in 1910, but Newcastle United proved to be a big catch for the Oakwell outfit in the title game.
Nonetheless, Barnsley won the FA cup trophy in 1912 and that is considered the club’s biggest success. Barnsley defeated West Bromwich Albion in the two-legged tie (0-0, 1-0) to clinch the prestigious trophy for the first and only time in their history.
