QPR vs Barnsley prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2021-22

QPR will look to continue their winning run in the EFL Championship when they welcome Barnsley to the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium on Saturday.

QPR are coming off an entertaining 3-2 win over Middlesbrough. Rangers held on to secure all three points despite Moses Odubajo getting sent off in the 50th minute.

Lyndon Dykes and Chris Willock each scored a goal for the visitors, and Jonny Howson's own-goal rounded off the scoring.

QPR are third in the championship table, with seven points from three matches played.

Meanwhile, Barnsley are 13th in the standings with four points from three games. They succumbed to a 1-0 loss to Luton Town in their last league game, and the side are still finding their feet under Markus Schopp's tutelage.
