History of the Queens Park Rangers v Barnsley fixture

QPR prepare to entertain Barnsley at Loftus Road on Tuesday evening, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having taken all the points from 13 of the 18 contests.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Loftus Road was less than a year ago, in January 2003, the Rangers carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Division Two match.
