Swansea City Preview – Swans to see off the Robins?

Swansea City crashed to a shock 4-1 defeat to lowly Huddersfield Town at the John Smith’s Stadium last weekend. However, Steve Cooper’s men hit back with a crucial 1-0 home win over Coventry City in midweek.

The high-flying Swans have been superb at the Liberty Stadium this season, picking up an impressive ten Championship victories on home soil. City have only been beaten once at home in the league all season, with that sole defeat coming to Huddersfield on 17th October.

Our betting prediction:
Swansea to score 3+ goals
7/2

(odds taken 1124 GMT, Friday 26 February)

 
Swansea, who lost in the play-offs last season, have put themselves in a great position to take one of the automatic places. Failing that, at the very least the Welsh club should finish in the top six once again. Can they put another massive three points on the board this weekend?

Bristol City Preview – Can Pearson start with a positive result?

Paul Simpson oversaw Bristol City’s impressive victory at the Riverside Stadium in midweek. Famara Diedhiou was excellent, scoring two goals in the first half. City were 3-0 up at half time, with Nahki Wells also getting on the scoresheet.

The midweek win at Middlesbrough stopped a run of seven straight league and cup defeats. Dean Holden made a good start, but last Saturday’s 1-0 home loss to Barnsley was the final nail in the coffin for the 41-year-old. The experienced Nigel Pearson is the new man in charge at Ashton Gate.

The players will want to impress their new boss but getting anything from Saturday’s trip to the Liberty Stadium will be a tough assignment for Pearson’s boys. The bookies have the Robins as 4/1 underdogs.

 

Swansea City vs Bristol City Betting Advice

Swansea City are unbeaten in three against Bristol City, though two of those have ended in draws. The reverse game at Ashton Gate earlier in the season ended in a 1-1 stalemate. Jamal Lowe’s goal put the Swans in front, but Nahki Wells equalised from the spot with seven minutes to go.

 

Key Facts – Swansea City vs Bristol City Betting Tip

  • Swansea have picked up an impressive ten wins from 16 home games
  • Bristol City had lost seven league and cup matches in a row before Tuesday’s win at Boro
  • These two drew 1-1 at Ashton Gate back in October

 

Swansea have been very easy on the eye this season. Not many people would have had them down as automatic promotion candidates, but the Swans are well and truly in the mix. We fancy Cooper’s boys to get the points on home turf this Saturday. The home win is priced at 4/5.

Swansea usually score first at the Liberty, and Cooper will be looking for a fast start from his players in this one. You can get 8/15 for City to open the scoring on Saturday.
