History of the Queens Park Rangers v Barnsley fixture

Q.P.R. prepare to entertain Barnsley at Loftus Road on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having taken all the points from 18 of the 23 contests.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Loftus Road was less than a year ago, in September 2009, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 5-2 thriller, in a Championship match.
