Leicester v Swansea Betting Tips – Premier League 3rd February 3.00pm
Swansea have shown some drastic improvement under Carlos Carvalhal and they hauled themselves out of the relegation zone with a home win over Arsenal in midweek. That is both Liverpool and Arsenal they have taken down recently. Leicester though have been in pretty good shape recently at the King Power in the top flight and will be looking for the third win on the bounce there.
Leicester News and Form
Leicester have won their last two top-flight home games, losing just one of their last six league matches at the King Power (W4 D1 L1) so it has been pretty good for them. They have also bagged a clean sheet in each of their last three home wins too so Leicester to win to nil at Betfair is at 13/8 odds* (betting odds taken January 31st at 6:22 p.m.) and has appeal. Leicester hold a home record of W6 D2 L4 for the term and now they have scored at least two goals in all but of their last six on home soil. So there has been a decent output from them, a fairly consistent one as well. Only on two occasions at the King Power this season have the Foxes failed to score and on both of those occasions, Leicester lost (against Man City and Crystal Palace). Jamie Vardy is the 11/10 anytime goalscorer favourite at Betfair for the game* (betting odds taken January 31st at 5:15 p.m.) and he got a goal in a defeat at Everton in midweek. Leicester are generally strong starters at home, scoring the opening goal in seven of their 12 home fixtures this season.
Swansea News and Form
Swansea have been showing all of the qualities that they need to get themselves safe from relegation. They have delivered a great team spirit along with some grit. The Swans have landed back to back league wins, shock wins at that, over Arsenal and Liverpool to bag enough points to get them temporarily clear of the relegation zone in midweek. So now there is fight and now there is hope after seven points collected from their last three league games. Both of the wins were at home though, so can they deliver also on the road? Well, they are unbeaten in their last two away from the Liberty Stadium, beating Watford and drawing with Newcastle. There have been only the two away wins all season from Swansea though but they have a solid chance of survival right now if they can keep the momentum going. It’s been quite the turnaround since Carlos Carvalhal got a hold of them. Swansea have netted just the eight goals away from home this season and they have conceded in each of their last nine out on the road. Defensively they are doing so much better at the moment and under 2.5 goals at Betfair is going to be worth a look. They probably wouldn’t be unhappy with a point out of this fixture.
Leicester v Swansea Head to Head
Leicester are up in the head to head against Swansea from recent meetings. The Foxes won 2-1 at Swansea earlier this season and back at the King Power, they are on a seven-match winning streak against the Welsh Club. Overall home and away Leicester have lost just one of their last six games against the Swans. Both teams have scored in just two of the last seven meetings between the two.

Leicester v Swansea Predictions
Draw: The Swans have been showing a steel that wasn’t there before Carvalho took over, but despite that, they are going up against a decent home side in the form of Leicester. Swansea’s grit and determination may well earn them a point out of this away game and that would probably take that with pleasure.
