Swansea v Leicester Betting Preview – Premier League 12th February 4.00pm
There is massively important three points up for grabs in this one in what should be the most dramatic game of the weekend. Leicester and Swansea start the weekend level on points and just the one point above the drop zone. The Swans have been the ones who are have been producing results lately though, with the Foxes having slumped their way to four defeats on the bounce and are looking to be in a massive crisis at the moment. The Swans have won three of their last four at home against the Foxes and Leicester are still searching for that elusive first away win of the season. Will it be a big win for the hosts?

Swansea v Leicester Betting Tips
A big chance for Swansea to land themselves three points in their quest for survival. Not only that, if they can land them then they would be pulling Leicester further down in to trouble. The Swans have improved to W3 L2 in their last five games so new boss Paul Clement has given them a bit of hope after so many struggles this season. They aren’t a side who are tight at the back though still and they haven’t managed to pick one clean sheet up in any of their last eight Premier League games. That is really what is hurting them. However, in their current form, their only losses have been against Arsenal and Man City but they have taken good wins over Liverpool and Southampton. Swansea have put up just a W3 D2 L7 record at the Liberty Stadium this season and each of their last three wins in the league have been by a one goal margin and Swansea to win by a one goal margin at Coral will return you a price of 3/1 which looks decent value actually.
Swansea suffered a 2-1 loss at Leicester earlier in the season and that has seen them slump to a four match losing streak now against the Foxes. So there is some poor head to head form that they need to get over, but the way that Leicester are going at the moment, the Swans have to be confident. Prior to their loss at home against Leicester last season though, Swansea were on a three match winning streak there against them. 83% of Swansea’s home games this season have gone over 2.5 goals and over 2.5 goals at Coral for Sunday’s clash will return you a price of even money. You also have a quote of 3/4 on both teams to score as well. Swansea have already conceded 54 Premier League goals this season – the joint-most they have ever done in a Premier League season (also 54 in 2013-14). That’s how poor they have been at the back. Gylfi Sigurdsson is a value wager in the anytime goalscorer market at an 8/5 quote with Fernando Llorente at 7/4.
What can Leicester do about their current form? This would be a hammer blow if they suffered a loss in this one. They have lost their last five Premier League matches now and they have taken just the one victory in their last nine. It’s been a huge drop for them and defensively they have been at massive odds, and they have shipped ten in their last four league games alone. They have yet to score a goal in the 2017 calendar year and they have actually managed just the one league goal in their last seven top flight games. Overall this season, they have posted a W0 D3 L9 record in their eleven away games. They are on a two match losing streak out on the road and had an FA Cup replay in midweek against Derby which they won in extra time. Wisely Claudio Ranieri changed his entire starting lineup. Jamie Vardy is a 7/4 anytime goalscorer option for the game with Riyad Mahrez at 3/1. Mahrez netted a hat trick against Swansea in this fixture last season. Even though they are looking for their fifth straight win over Swansea, are they in the form to actually land it?

Swansea v Leicester Predictions
Would have to roll with Swansea collecting the three points in this one because of home soil and the positives that they have put on the board lately. There has been enough from Paul Clement’s men lately to ensure that they get the win on the board in this one and as they have blanked Leicester in three of their last four at home against the Foxes, be bold and shoot for the Swans to win this one to nil.
