QPR vs Swansea City Predictions

• The last five Championship games for both sides have produced under 2.5 goals.
• Just three of Swansea’s 20 league matches this term have generated more than 2.5 goals.
• Seven of QPR’s ten starts at Loftus Road have produced less than 2.5 goals.

Swans Set for Another Low Scoring Contest

While third-placed Swansea look the more likely winners when they take on QPR this Saturday, three defeats from their last five on the road mean punters should turn their attention away from the match betting markets.

The Swans sit just two points behind the automatic promotion places and should really be fired up for this Boxing Day clash as they aim to home in on the top two, and they returned to winning ways last time out with a comfortable 2-0 success at home to Barnsley.

Nonetheless, away defeats to Norwich (1-0), Middlesbrough (2-1) and Derby (2-0) since the start of November temper enthusiasm for backing Steve Cooper’s men here, despite the fact 19th placed QPR are winless in their last seven outings (D3, L4).

Under 2.5 goals looks the way to go instead, as only three of Swansea’s 20 league matches this season have produced three goals or more. Nine of their ten fixtures on the road have produced fewer than 2.5, with the same applying to seven of QPR’s fixtures at Loftus Road.

The teams go into this one having each seen their last five Championship games produce under 2.5, so you can see why we foresee a lack of goalmouth action in this Boxing Day encounter.

This is a difficult prospect for correct score backers, but with the Welsh outfit given narrow preference based on the league standings, we’re going for a 0-1 away victory.
