QPR vs Barnsley
English League Championship
Date: Saturday, 3rd February 2018
Kick-off at 15:00 UK/ 16:00 CET
Venue: Loftus Road (London).
Rangers are also without Idrissa Sylla, who has a calf problem, and Jamie Mackie after a back operation. But Paul Smyth is close to returning from a quad strain and Pawel Wszolek is fit after concussion. Grant Hall proved his fitness after a knee injury in an under-23 game and could be in contention.
Barnsley's deadline-day signings Oli McBurnie, Matt Mills and Christoph Knasmullner are all in contention to make their debuts. Striker McBurnie, on loan from Swansea, defender Mills, who joined from Nottingham Forest, and midfielder Knasmullner, a permanent signing from Austrian club Admira Wacker, could be included in the squad.
Connor Mahoney, signed on loan from Bournemouth, is also poised for his first appearance as the Reds chase just their second league win in 15 matches. Winger Lloyd Isgrove may feature after returning to full training on Friday, but defenders Zeki Fryers and Adam Jackson are still out.
QPR vs Barnsley: Head-to-head
QPR lost their last 2 games failing to score in both
Barnsley is winless in 3 league games
QPR have won all their previous 5 meeting with Barnsley at Loftus Road
4 of the last 5 meeting at Loftus Road had over 2.5 goals
QPR vs Barnsley: Predictions
QPR are probably still feeling a bitter taste in their mouths after failing to perform against 10 men Bristol City. The team will be determined and their results against fellow relegation sides look to give them confidence. The Rangers should get all the points here and drift to safety.
QPR games sometimes offer some goals. The team concedes easily and considering Barnsley have seen 4 goals in each of their last 2 games we can safely assume we will see goals again.
