Swansea was held to a 1:1 home draw last weekend against Crystal Palace, even though it looked like their players deserved something more out of the match. Both goals were scored in the first half, with hosts taking a lead in 15th minute by Bony, while the guests equalized in 25th minute from a penalty spot and a goal from Jedinak.
Even though they have only one victory in last four matches, team played quite well in all matches, as they previously lost narrowly away to Manchester City, winning at home over Arsenal and getting a draw against Everton. They are only two points behind the European positions, but having great 4-2-1 record at home, there is no doubt that their only target tonight will be getting the three pointer, easy or hard. Wayne Routledge made his return last weekend and now should retain his position. Jordi Amat continues to recover from injury, but will surely not be risked
here. Hosts also miss their central defender Federico Fernandez (7/0) who already counts as long term absentee.
QPR finally managed to make a positive result in a home match last weekend against Leicester celebrating a 3:2 victory. Both teams had many ups and downs in their performances, as the guests took the lead in fourth minute, but were the hosts responded well near the end of the first halftime with two goals.
Leicester equalized in 67th minute, but QPR scored their third via Austin several minutes later to get deserved victory which could have actually been even with a bigger margin. Despite the victory, they remain in the relegation zone, but now tied with safely placed Hull. Their biggest problem this season remain with away matches, having six defeats in as many matches and only two goals scored so far. Left back Yun Suk-Young (6/0) limped off in a game against Leicester and will miss here. Offensive midfielder Adel Taarabt (2/0) and defensive midfielders Sandro (8/0) and Alejandro Faurlin (2/0) are all sidelined with injuries.
Just a couple of weeks ago, Swansea won at home over Arsenal, are playing steadily well in recent games and shouldn’t blow this chance to get another home three pointer. QPR simply seems to weak away from home and even these odds look more than valuable having in mind their form.
Bet: Swansea Wins
