Barnsley prepare to entertain Queens Park Rangers at Oakwell on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Tykes are clearly on top, having won 12 and lost only 3 of the 21 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Oakwell was just last season, in February 2008, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides
Barnsley's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 4 goals have been registered in this time, with 5 in the wrong end.
Q.P.R.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Rangers, and 6 goals against.
Barnsley are currently lying in 19th place in Coca-Cola Championship having mustered a points tally of 36 from their 32 matches played. Q.P.R.'s 48 points from 33 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.
