Luton Town, with three wins in nine League One games this season, are now 16th in the table. Their next match is against Barnsley, who are three points behind. Luton Town have the better attack, but they have also conceded as many goals as the away side. Hence, our Luton Town vs Barnsley match prediction is both teams to score.
Barnsley's last League One game ended in a 2-1 defeat at Cambridge, their 5th defeat in nine games. The Tykes' attack has been more impressive, with Barnsley scoring in six out of nine league matches this season. This factor should give them the confidence to get on the scoresheet against a Luton Town side that has scored nearly 100% more goals.
The Hatters were beaten 2-1 by MK Dons a week after thrashing Wycombe 4-1 at their home stadium. Their other high-scoring match this season was the opening-day 4-3 victory over Reading. Luton now have 17 goals in nine league games this season. Due to their more impressive attacking numbers, Luton Town go into Tuesday's game as favourites.
Yet, they have conceded the same number of goals as the away side. Hence, we expect the Tykes to find the net against Luton even if they end up losing the match. So Tuesday's game should finish with goals for both sides.

Our Luton Town vs Barnsley Prediction
Luton Town could go five points clear if they beat the Tykes at home on Tuesday. They won each of their past two H2H games and are also scoring more goals ahead of their next clash. Yet, the Hatters have conceded the same number of goals (17), showing similar vulnerabilities at the back.
Additionally, Barnsley have also scored in four of their past six matches against Luton and will have every reason to believe they can go on the scoresheet come Tuesday. Hence, our Luton Town vs Barnsley prediction is BTTS.
