Burnley v Swansea Betting Preview – Premier League 18th November 3.00pm
Eleven games of the season gone, Burnley are sat level on points with Liverpool and Arsenal inside the top seven. Who saw that coming? The Clarets are the real surprise package of the season and they can extend their good form further on the weekend as they play host to Swansea who are really struggling at the moment. The Welsh club have lost five of their last six league games and look to be in big trouble.
Burnley v Swansea Betting Tips
What a season it has been from Burnley so far in the top flight. They have gone W5 D4 L2 overall in their campaign and going into the weekend they are sat level on points with Liverpool and Arsenal up in the top seven. Could they be in Europe next season? Anyway, after back to back wins in the top flight, they can gain some further momentum in this one by adding a win to their recent victories over Newcastle and Southampton. Those were both 1-0 victories for the Clarets and a Burnley 1-0 correct score option at William Hill for their home game against Swansea on the weekend is a great 5/1 quote. Burnley have a simple plan. Keep it tight at the back and grab a goal here and there where they can. They are very hard to break down and things are working out for them at the moment and confidence has a lot to do with that.
Last Six Head to Head
Swansea 3 – 2 Burnley
Burnley 0 – 1 Swansea
Burnley 0 -1 Swansea
Swansea 1 – 0 Burnley
Burnley 2 – 1 Swansea
Swansea 1 – 0 Burnley
The Clarets are W2 D2 L1 at Turf Moor so far this season and just one of those games have gone over 1.5 goals. With Swansea being pretty lightweight as well, you have a price 6/4 of under 1.5 goals at William Hill which looks quite a sensible option. After failing to help New Zealand get to the World Cup, striker Chris Wood is back from international duty and he is the 7/4 anytime goalscorer favourite with Sam Vokes at 2/1. The Clarets have been a bit wasteful in front of goal on home soil this season and they have returned only the three goals, two of them coming in the second half of matches. With the visiting Swansea out of form, this has to be a good opportunity for Burnley to press on even further. The Clarets are on a winless streak of form against Swansea in the top flight though.

All four of their previous Premier League games against Swansea, Burnley have lost. Three of those four defeats were all by a 1-0 scoreline as well. They look the clear stronger of the two at the moment. Swansea are in the relegation zone and in a heap of trouble at the moment and Paul Clement may have trouble clinging to his job with them. Swansea have five defeats in their last six played and the only exception there being a 2-0 home win over Huddersfield. There has only been the one away win for them this season and they have failed to collect a win in any of their last three away from the Liberty Stadium, losing the last two. Four of their five defeats this season in the Premier League have all been by a one goal margin. A Burnley to win by a one goal margin wager at William Hill returns a price of 5/2 and considering that Swansea have only netted three goals away from this season, there’s value there.
Swansea have netted in just two away games so far this season and young England star Tammy Abraham has scored four of the seven goals that they have returned in the league this season. He has a lot of responsibility on his young shoulders does Abraham and he is a price of 11/4 in the anytime goalscorer market. Despite their struggles this season, Swansea are actually three points better off than they were at this stage last season. The Welsh club have not been trailing at half time in any of their away games this season and a half time draw at William Hill is a price of 20/21. If you are expecting Burnley to pick up the match win then you could go on to consider a Draw/Burnley half time/full time bet for a price of 4/1.

Burnley v Swansea Predictions
Burnley to win: Burnley have shown enough lately to suggest that they can keep their good form going by taking a win in this one. Swansea are in such a mess that it hard seeing them match up to the Clarets at Turf Moor. Back a home win.
