    QPR v Swansea City

    Competition - Sky Bet Championship
    Venue - The Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium
    Kick off - 19.45
    Date - 21 August 2019

    Following yet another home comeback victory at The Liberty Stadium, this time a 3-2 victory over Preston, next up for Steve Cooper’s unbeaten Swans squad is a trip to Shepherd’s Bush to play QPR.

    Against Preston, Alex Neil's team were deservedly ahead inside 11 minutes, with Rafferty scoring for the first time since his January move from Rochdale.

    The left-back took aim from distance and saw his shot find the corner of Freddie Woodman's net.

    The Swans could not get their passing game going, and Preston might have extended their lead had Billy Bodin or Johnson not wasted presentable opportunities and Ben Davies headed just over.

    Swansea levelled when Borja guided the ball low beyond Declan Rudd and into the net from Connor Roberts' centre.

    Swansea were much-improved and after good work from Bersant Celina, Borja fluffed an effort at goal and substitute George Byers was on hand to sweep the ball home.

    The lead lasted only four minutes with Johnson levelling from the penalty spot after Roberts bundled Maguire over in the box.

    Yet just two minutes later, Swansea were ahead for a second time as Borja powered home a header from Jake Bidwell's centre.

    Borja's third goal of the season means Cooper's team have won their three home games this season despite falling behind in all of them.

    Swansea’s victory lifted them to fourth in the Championship.

    Whilst the Swans were winning against Preston, QPR were losing to Bristol City who earned their first league win of the season thanks to Adam Nagy and Benik Afobe's first goals for the Robins.

    Hungary midfielder Nagy, who joined the Robins from Italian side Bologna on 8 August, powerfully opened the scoring on the half-volley in the first half.

    Stoke loanee Afobe lashed in the second from six yards after sloppy defending from QPR to double the lead after the break.

    The result left both sides with four points from their opening three Championship games, with QPR lying 13th in the table.

    Turning to Wednesday, I’m going for a 2-2 draw!

    Nil - nil all over it.

    Failing that we’ll win 2-1

    Any draw away is good but a win is always better
    1-2, hopefully we'll have learned from our last visit and Rangel gets dumped on his arse <whistle>

    Well our possession stats have dropped these last few games, just hope we are back to our best for this game as we will get slaughtered otherwise, draw game this for me, though we could get a win if we start more positive than of late............<ok>



    I hear this game is being streamed free on Swans TV, and it is also on the SKY red button.

    This is what is worrying me dragon......Another poor slow first half could see us playing catch up and the chances of another come back is not impossible but unlikely...We need to come out as strong as we mean for all the game and we can get a good result....
