Swansea vs QPR prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – December 26, 2024
One of the matches in the 23rd round of the Championship will take place on Thursday at Swansea Stadium, where Swansea City will host QPR. Here's a betting suggestion on the number of goals in this match with promising odds.
Match preview
The "Swans" are fighting hard to return to the Premier League, but this season has been a mixed bag for them. In their recent match against Plymouth, the Welsh side secured an important away win, finishing 2-1. However, in the subsequent two matches against Sunderland and Hull City, Swansea lost, which has affected their position in the standings.
Currently, Swansea sits in 11th place, eight points adrift of the playoff zone. The Welsh team has struggled for consistency at home, having won only three of their ten home matches, drawn four, and lost three. Improving their home form could be the key to achieving their goal of promotion.
QPR, after successfully staying in the Championship last season, have started the current campaign poorly, spending much of the early season near the relegation zone. However, recent performances have seen an upturn, and they are now in 14th place, seven points above the relegation zone.
In the last round, QPR hosted Preston and secured a 2-1 victory, their third win in the last four Championship matches. Overall, they are unbeaten in their last seven matches. On the road, QPR has only managed two wins in ten games, with three losses.
Probable lineups
- Swansea: Vigor, Tymon, Darling, Cabango, Naughton, Omo, Grimes, Franco, Ronald, Cooper, Vipotnik
- QPR: Nardi, Everton, Dunn, Cook, Pal, Colback, Field, Dembélé, Madsen, Andersen, Fry
