Barnsley welcomes Queens Park Rangers to Oakwell for Round 32 of the SkyBet Championship.
The Tykes have made things extremely difficult for themselves as they are on the verge of relegation after this season concludes. Considering they finished 5th last time, it is unbelievable how things have gone downhill for them. Manager Poya Asbaghi has had his plates full since joining them.
Barnsley is 24th in the league, eight points below safety.
They have gone winless in their last 13 league fixtures. Adding insult to injury, they have lost all of their last five league games. Another worry for them has been the irregularity of finding the back of the net. They have scored twice and conceded nine in those five games.
The Rangers are in the 4th spot, with only one target in their sights. Mark Warburton's boys are three points behind the second-placed Bournemouth. A top-two finish would guarantee them with automatic promotion, which will require a consistent performance for the second half of the season. QPR has earned three victories with two draws in their last five matches.
QPR will get a chance to play for promotion either way as they are well within the play-off places. Barnsley needs a miracle to save themselves from their destined relegation fate.
Barnsley haven't lost to Queens Park Rangers in their last five meetings. But this statistic won't tell you how far the hosts have fallen to earn reputation from this impressive anecdote. The Hoops are unbeaten in their last seven Championship outings and will be looking forwards to collecting all three from this easy fixture.
Both Clarke Oduor and Victor Adeboyejo will miss this fixture due to their injuries to the hosts. Similarly, for the visitors, Sam McCallum and Jordan Archer will also be missing this clash for their injuries.
