QPR vs Swansea City Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• QPR have only won one of their five league games under Neil Critchley
• Swansea have only lost three of their last nine games
• Both teams have scored in 71% of Swansea’s away games this season

Mid table clash

Saturday’s Championship fixture sees the 11th and 12th placed teams face off in what is sure to be a close encounter. Swansea have just one more point than their opponents and will look to extend this gap, while QPR are still looking for just a second win under new management.

QPR have drawn three of the five league games since Neil Critchley took charge, while Swansea have been inconsistent, winning two, losing two, and drawing one of their last five in the league. This game will be tight, with a prediction of a 1-1 draw looking good.

Midweek mayhem

Swansea had the added setback of an FA Cup 3rd round replay against divisional rivals Bristol City on Tuesday night – a game in which they were taken to extra time, playing 120 minutes just to lose to a 112th minute goal. This extra fixture will have done them no favours in their preparation for Saturday, and could give QPR a slight advantage.

The league tells all

The league table never lies, and with these two sides sitting so close to each other in the standings, another tight clash looks more than likely. Both teams have scored in 71% of Swansea’s away games this season, with goals scored in 79% of their away games, while QPR have scored in 62% of home games – a both teams to score prediction is good odds for this fixture.
