The Championship continues this week and will see Barnsley host Luton Town on Tuesday.

Barnsley began their Championship campaign against Cardiff City. The game ended 1-1, with Marlon Pack opening the scoring for Cardiff City before Toby Sibbick drew Barnsley level in the second half.

Barnsley got their first win of the campaign last Saturday with a 1-0 home victory over Coventry City. Dominik Frieser gave Barnsley the lead in the first half but it was Barnsley's goalkeeper who was the real hero of the day. The goalkeeper produced a stoppage-time penalty save to give his side all three points.

Luton Town began their campaign with a solid 3-0 win over newly-promoted Peterborough United. However, they crashed out of the EFL Cup in the first round after losing to Stevenage on penalties.

Luton Town then suffered their first league defeat of the campaign on Saturday, losing 3-2 to West Bromwich Albion.

Barnsley vs Luton Town Prediction

Barnsley have not been prolific in front of goal this season, scoring just two goals so far. Barnsley boss Markus Schopp will be hoping his side can improve their attacking output against Luton Town.

Luton Town, on the other hand, have seven goals in just three games this campaign. However, their defense has been susceptible as they have conceded five goals in their last two games.

Barnsley should be able to exploit the shaky Luton defense and get the win.

Prediction: Barnsley 2-1 Luton Town
