Swansea vs QPR prediction: ENGLAND: Championship betting tips on match 2024-03-31 14:00.
[p]Swansea went into the international break on a high after downing arch-rivals Cardiff 2-0 before returning to battle back from a goal down to earn a point on the road at Sheffield Wednesday on Good Friday (1-1). These two results have gone some way to staving off relegation fears, with Luke Williams’ men now eight points clear of the drop zone with seven matches to go. [/p]
[p]While there’s no doubt it’s been a turbulent campaign for the Swans, who opted for a managerial change midway through the season, they still only sit two points worse off than what they had on the board at this stage of last season. Another top-ten finish isn’t out of the realms of possibility then, but just one home H2H win against QPR from the last four meetings (D1, L2) highlights that the west Londoners might not be the ideal opponent to keep their good form going against. [/p]
[p]Especially considering the Hoops will arrive in a buoyant mood after Jimmy Dunne’s stoppage-time bullet gave his side a huge 2-1 win against fellow relegation rivals Birmingham last time out. That extended their impressive run to just one defeat in seven league games (W4, D2) and lifted QPR four points clear of the dotted line. [/p]
[p]Manager Martà Cifuentes praised his side’s “massive mentality” after the victory, and it’s fair to say that trait has been particularly prevalent on the road too with his side restricting the home team to a goal or less in each of their last six road trips (W3, D2, L1). Notably, all but one of those matches came away to sides starting this round above them in the table. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Jamal Lowe has been coming up trumps late on for Swansea recently with goals beyond the 75th minute in each of their last two matches. Ilias Chair has been QPR’s man on the road with two goals across his last three away appearances. [/p]
[p]Hot streak: None of the last eight league H2Hs produced more than two total match goals. [/p]
