The Potters have been shaky enough out on the road this season to give Swansea a shot at something in this one. The Welsh club needs something special too out of this home game because they are still stuck in the drop zone. They have a couple of very tough games coming up after this one as well so this is a game in which they really have to take advantage of home soil.

Swansea v Stoke Betting Tips
Swansea have a big fight on their hands to stay up and they start the weekend two points adrift of safety. It’s not a big margin but with Swansea on a big streak of just one point earned from their last six league games played, that seems like a mountain. The Swans have lost just one of their last five home games though (W3 D1) in the top flight and that defeat happened in their last home game which was against Spurs. Swansea nearly rolled out the win as they were 1-0 up with three minutes to go before collapsing to a 3-1 defeat. Swansea have won just one of their last seven Premier League contests with Stoke (D3 L3). Swansea have the worst defensive record in the top flight this season with 68 conceded and all 11 teams to have conceded 68+ goals after 33 Premier League games of a season have been relegated that campaign. But Swansea to win to nil at Bet365 is a quote of 11/4 and that is going based on the fact that Stoke haven’t scored an away goal since back in January. The game to go under 2.5 goals is a quote of 3/4.
Stoke are struggling away from home in the top flight and they have gone winless in their last five away games now in a D1 L4 record. They are however, looking to win consecutive away games at Swansea for the first time ever and their 1-0 win there back in October 2015 was their first victory there in six away fixtures against Swansea. Marko Arnautovic has been directly involved in 10 Premier League goals this term (6 goals, 4 assists); the most of any Stoke City player and he is trading at 9/4 in the Bet365 anytime goalscorer market and he was brilliant in a 3-1 win over Hull on the weekend. Swansea’s Fernando Llorente is 3/2 outright favourite in the anytime goalscorer market. Even though they can’t find a way to win on the road (winning just three away games all term), the Potters have won six of their seven Premier League games this season against the current bottom four teams of the division (D1) so that is a big positive for them to take into this one.

Swansea v Stoke Predictions
Draw: Stoke have not done much winning on the road this season at all and they may just come up short against Swansea who have been doing alright at home recently. Whether a point is going to be enough for Swansea at the end of the day remains to be seen, but settle for the draw.
