QPR vs Swansea City Predictions

• QPR are on their longest winning run of Championship games since February 2021.
• Only five sides picked up fewer points than Swansea’s four across the last five rounds.
• Swansea failed to win nine of their 11 away league games as pre-match outsiders.

The race for second-place intensifies

While Fulham look to be running away with the league, there are a host of sides vying for that coveted runners-up position. That includes QPR, who sit within striking distance of the automatic promotion spots after a run of four straight league wins.

For the most part, QPR have been kind to punters this season as they have gone unbeaten in nine of their 11 Championship clashes when chalked up as favourites (W6, D3, L2), a return which is the polar opposite of Swansea’s return as away league outsiders (W2, D3, L6).

Inconsistent Swans look to double up

Swansea’s hard-fought 1-0 win over Preston last time out was their only win across their last five league games. However, it didn’t really do much in terms of their season as a whole as they remain in the mid-table abyss with not much to play for, barring any record-breaking winning runs.

The five-game form of Swansea is not dissimilar to that of a side battling relegation, and given that they are well clear of the drop zone, there could be a sense of complacency within the squad.

I think that QPR will win this game, though not without some resistance from this consistency-seeking Swansea side. Anything above evens looks like terrific value for a QPR win, so that is the main prediction.
