Barnsley – QPR Preview

The clock is ticking on Barnsley’s slim hopes of avoiding the dreaded drop this season, as no wins since early November (D3, L10) coupled with losing their last six successive Championship games leaves them rooted to the foot of the table. Only scoring 18 goals at this point of the season explains why they’re in their current situation – that’s the worst goal return after 29 games of a Championship season this century!
The ‘Tykes’ need a catalyst to start their recovery, and manager Markus Schopp could see the visit of QPR as the opportunity. His side has secured ten of their lowly 14 points at home, and Barnsley are undefeated across the last four H2Hs against the west London side at Oakwell (W3, D1).
The reverse fixture in August saw QPR fight from 2-0 down to earn a 2-2 draw in stoppage time and they repeated that scoreline in a back-and-forth affair last time out vs Middlesbrough. Currently sitting pretty in a play-off spot heading into the weekend, QPR will be banking on stretching their unbeaten streak in the league to eight (W5, D2) and remaining in contention for automatic promotion.
The ‘Hoops’ are currently on a tear when on their travels, going undefeated in their last six Championship matches away from home (W5, D1), while winning each of the last four 2-1! QPR can now make a little bit of history as a result as they have never previously won five consecutive away league matches in the same season!
Key battles: Carlton Morris ended his Barnsley scoring drought last time out, and has seen five of his last seven club goals arrive at home. Conversely, QPR’s Chris Willock has registered eight goal contributions in his last six Championship matches (G2, A6), with five of his seven goals coming away from home this campaign.
Hot stat: Barnsley have conceded the first goal in 21 of their 29 Championship matches so far this campaign, a league-high.
