Fulham vs Barnsley prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2021-22
Fulham host Barnsley at Craven Cottage in the EFL Championship on Saturday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.
Fulham are currently second in the league with a win potentially taking them to the top of the table. Marco Silva's side have been in incredible form of late, having won their last six league games. They will look to continue their form with a win against Barnsley this weekend.
Barnsley, on the other hand, have been woeful this season. Poya Asbaghi's side have only won one of their last 15 league games and are currently 23rd in the table. It will be a huge ask for them to take anything away from the game against Fulham on Saturday.
Back to work after the internationals! 👊
