Swansea City have been going through a rough patch lately. They are coming off back-to-back defeats and have only one win in their last five games. As it stands, Luke Williams' men are 11th in the Championship, three spots above Queens Park Rangers.
On the other hand, QPR have put up some impressive performances in recent weeks, stringing together a seven-match unbeaten run (W4, D3). They have been able to rely on their defence which has kept four clean sheets in their last six matches.
Despite their recent struggles, Swansea are the expected winners at 17/20 (1.85). Teams with these odds generally have a 54.1% probability of winning.

It is also important to note that six of QPR’s last eight matches went below the 2.5-goal line. Given that fewer than three goals were scored in each of the last nine skirmishes between these outfits, under 2.5 total goals has an appealing look at 3/4 (1.75). That one has a 57.1% chance of landing.
Most recent H2Hs: A fairly one-sided contest
Despite being the underdogs, Queens Park Rangers have an excellent track record against Swansea. The visitors have lost only once in their last seven clashes with the Swans (W3, D3).
