Reasoning

Both teams have started the season with extremely low-scoring matches: Barnsley have failed to score in two League One games (0-0 draw, 0-1 home loss), while Crewe have recorded consecutive 1-0 wins in League Two. Combined with Barnsley's key forward Sam Winnall sidelined and Slobodan Tedic doubtful, attacking output is likely to be limited. The League Cup tie at Oakwell should follow the early-season trend of tight, goal-shy football.
