Luton Town are welcoming Barnsley for another important game after their 0-5 result against 13th-placed Reading.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Relegation threatens Luton who should definitely be looking for some points here. Barnsley are struggling to avoid relegation.

Luton Town form and stats

7-5-8 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Luton Town, who have the most conceded goals (78) in Championship, so far this season.

The Luton fans got no joy from their last match, a Championship game also here at Kenilworth Road Stadium: A 0-5 defeat against Reading (placed 14th). Before that, Luton played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Leeds United.

Luton were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

There will be little rest for Luton after this match as they are travelling to Huddersfield Town for a Championship game in only three days.

Luton are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 28 goals in 20 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Luton Town defense is not exactly impregnable. 33 goals conceded from 20 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Barnsley form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Barnsley so far with only 15 points returning home. The records show 4-3-13 (win-draw-lose).

Barnsley play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-4 to Stoke City (placed 18th). That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Blackburn Rovers.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Stoke City was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Wigan Athletic in just four days.

The visitors have scored 17 goals from 20 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Barnsley have conceded 33 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Barnsley - Luton Town 1-3 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Numbers for the last five meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Luton, one draw and two wins for Barnsley. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
