Barnsley vs Fulham prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2021-22
Barnsley host Fulham at Oakwell Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.
Barnsley have been woeful this season and are currently 23rd in the league, five points away from safety. Poya Asbaghi's side have been in inconsistent form of late, having won two of their last five games. They will hope to turn things around with a win against Fulham on Saturday.
Fulham, on the other hand, are currently top of the league, 14 points ahead of Bournemouth in 2nd. Marco Silva's side have won their last four games on the trot and will look to take that momentum into the game against Barnsley on Saturday.

This will be a great opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the league with a win against a poor Barnsley side.
