Barnsley v QPR

Swedish success for us last night, and for Malmo, but not for poor old Elfsborg. Malmo took another big step towards the Allsvenskan title, as they crushed their opponents 6-0. The first four goals were all we were interested in.
We don't often include the English Football League in these columns, but we will today. We're off to Barnsley, who are up against QPR in the Championship.
Both teams are on poor form. The Tykes have only picked up seven points this season, and they have lost their last three games in all competitions. They were very close to what would have been a creditable draw at Wolves at the weekend, but having equalised in the 90th minute, they then conceded an even later Wolves winner. After such a heartbreaking defeat, boss Paul Heckingbottom bemoaned his team's tendency to switch off at vital moments.
QPR have picked up impressive home wins against Hull City and Ipswich Town in the last few weeks, but they are the only victories they have managed in the last eight Championship outings. The weekend's goalless draw at home to Burton Albion was especially frustrating for Hoops boss Ian Holloway, who concluded that his side simply hadn't done enough to drag the opposition out of position.
Despite the struggles of both sides, I'm expecting goals here. Five of QPR's last six Championship matches have featured three goals or more, and that's true of five of their last seven away matches. Barnsley have seen seven of their last nine league games contain at least three goals, and an Over 2.5 Goals bet has landed in their last four home matches,
