QPR vs Swansea Prediction
QPR Form
QPR are currently performing inconsistently, as they lost against Southampton by a 2-1 score, before winning 0-2 against Middlesbrough. They lost again in their most recent match, this time 1-3 against Sunderland. In their last six Championship home matches, QPR didn't claim a single win. In stead, they've drawn one and lost five, while scoring two and conceding 12 goals.
QPR’s priority for this season will be to stay clear of the relegation zone, while challenging for a spot in the upper half of the Championship.
Swansea Form
Swansea lost their previous three matches by 2-3 against Bournemouth, 1-2 against Bristol City and 2-0 against Cardiff. In their last six away matches in the Championship, Swansea won twice, while also recording one draw. They endured three defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying eight goals conceded and nine scored.
A top half finish is the dream target for QPR, although keeping their Championship status for another season has to be the priority.
Swansea and QPR are almost always cautious, when going toe-to-toe with each other, which makes under 2.5 goals the value bet on Tuesday.
QPR won three points from their last one encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won one, scored two and let in zero goals. QPR are yet to play a draw this season, in stead recording two wins and four defeats in the Championship. Swansea are yet to win this season, having played six games, in stead showing off two draws and four defeats.
