League Two
The two English sides have faced each other eight times in the last ten years, most recently in 2018. Luton are unbeaten in the last two games and have the better record across the eight most recent encounters, having lost only twice. The Hatters won five of the encounters, while one game ended in a draw. The average number of goals scored per game during this period was 2.25.
Luton Town team overview
Luton Town have gone from being English top-flight participants to being in the third division in less than three years. Indeed, the Hatters were relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2023/24 season and then suffered another relegation to League One at the end of last season.
There have been some improvements in the third division, with the team currently sitting only two points below the top of the standings. Matt Bloomfield’s side prepare for Tuesday’s game with plenty of confidence after beating Burton 3:0 in their last league game on Saturday afternoon.
Teden Mengi remains out with a knee injury that has kept him out since December. Marvelous Nakamba, Shandon Baptiste and Tom Holmes are also dealing with injuries.

Barnet team overview
Meanwhile, Barnet broke the 100-point barrier to win the National League and secure promotion to League Two last season. The third division has presented a difficult challenge so far, with the team boasting only two wins from six games and currently sitting in 15th place.
Nevertheless, the Bees will be motivated by the fact that they are unbeaten in their last three matches with two wins and two clean sheets. Both of these victories were away games - something that will give plenty of confidence ahead of the trip to Kenilworth Road.

Prediction
Luton Town have lost only one of their three home games in League Two this season, winning two and keeping as many clean sheets. Considering that Barnet have won their last two away games with two clean sheets, Tuesday’s game is likely to be a close one, with no more than two goals expected. My prediction is a goalless draw.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Barnet conceded just one goal over the course of their last three matches.
- Luton Town conceded only one goal in their last three fixtures.
- Each of the last four meetings between Luton and Barnet ended with under 2.5 goals.
