The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in October 2008, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Swansea City have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Swans have scored 4, a worringly large 7 have been leaked at the other end.

Q.P.R.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Rangers's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 5 goals for and 4 against.

Swansea City find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 11 points from their 10 matches. Q.P.R.'s 14 points from 9 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.
