while they have lost just once in eight league outings.

Nathan Jones’ side are now on the brink of the Championship play-off places and have been impressive defensively lately, notching up three clean sheets in a row.

They have won two of those games and have been defeated just three times at Kenilworth Road in the league this season, racking up six wins in the process.

Barnsley running out of time
Barnsley on the other hand are hopelessly out of form, crashing out of the FA Cup on Saturday at the hands of Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield, losing the all Championship match 1-0.

They have now suffered five successive defeats, sit bottom of the division and remain without a win in the league under new manager Poya Asbaghi, who took charge in November but has been beaten in seven of his ten fixtures.

The Tykes are also on a terrible run in front of goal, failing to score in their last four outings and ending on the wrong side of a 1-0 scoreline in the last three.

Barnsley will end that drought in front of goal eventually, but perhaps not against a defence as resolute as Luton’s. I predict the Hatters will win to nil, selecting 2-0 as a correct score.



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

而他们在8场联赛中只输了一场。

内森·琼斯的球队现在正处于冠军杯附加赛的边缘，最近的防守也令人印象深刻，他们已经连续三场比赛没有失球。

他们赢得了其中的两场比赛，本赛季在凯尼尔沃斯路只输过三场，总共赢了六场。

巴恩斯利快没时间了
另一方面，巴恩斯利毫无希望地失去了状态，在周六的足总杯比赛中被约克郡的对手哈德斯菲尔德击败，以1-0输掉了所有的冠军杯比赛。

在新任主帅阿斯巴吉的领导下，他们已经连续五场失利，在联赛中垫底，并且在联赛中没有一场胜利。阿斯巴吉于11月上任，但在他的十场比赛中有七场被击败。

泰克斯队在门前的表现也很糟糕，他们在过去的四场比赛中都没有进球，最后三场比赛都以1-0的比分结束。

巴恩斯利最终会结束这种进球荒，但也许不会面对卢顿那样坚定的防守。我预测帽匠队将以零比零获胜，选2-0作为正确得分。
