Swansea v Bournemouth Betting Tips – Premier League 25th November 3.00pm

Swansea are starting to look pretty desperate at the moment with a five match losing streak on the board over all competitions. They are offering little resistance and will, once again be vulnerable on home soil where they have produced very little this season. The Cherries, on the other hand, appear to be finding their feet for the season at last with three wins in their last four and with some decent recent form in south Wales, the visitors will have their backers in this one.

Swansea News and Form

The Welsh club are starting to look in heaps of trouble at the moment riding a four match losing streak in the top flight. Three of those defeats were only by a one goal margin though. Aside from a hammering suffered against Manchester United earlier in the season, they haven’t been trounced otherwise. Six of their eight league losses for the season have all been by just the one goal margin. Their only home success happened in a 2-0 victory over Huddersfield back in the middle of last month. That is one of two league wins that Swansea have recorded all season. They have struggled in front of goal with just the four goals at the Liberty Stadium and Tammy Abraham has scored three of those four goals and he is up at a price of 3/2 in the bet365 anytime goalscorer market. Because of their own lack of output, it has led to Swansea having conceded the opening goal in seven of their twelve league fixtures this term. 75% of Swansea’s goals at the Liberty Stadium have cropped up in the second half of their games. 40% of their goals this season conceded overall have come after the 75th minute. The Welsh club have been losing at half time in four of their six home fixtures.

Bournemouth News and Form

After their early season problems in the bottom three, Bournemouth looks to have turned the corner as they have collected three wins in their last four games played now. The only loss in their last four was against Chelsea in which the Cherries actually played well in a 1-0 loss, but they never really threatened in front of goal. They did on the weekend though as they claimed a big 4-0 win over Huddersfield at the Vitality to make it back to back league wins for them and that’s also back to back clean sheets for them too. Bournemouth to win to nil at bet365 is a price of 10/3. Callum Wilson rattled off a hattrick in that win over Huddersfield last weekend and is a 7/4 anytime goalscorer option for this one. Bournemouth have returned a W2 L4 record form their six games, but they have claimed back to back one-goal margin victories at Stoke and Newcastle on the road. The Cherries have only managed four away goals so far and 62% of those have been netted in the second half of matches. If they can up their own goal output, they do have the defence to hold their own in games as they boast the joint-best defensive record of all teams in the bottom half of the table.

Swansea v Bournemouth Head to Head

The Cherries took a 3-0 win in this corresponding fixture last season and they also won at home to nil against them too. That is a three match winning streak home and away that they are on against the Swans and are unbeaten in five against them (W3 D2). So there are positives there for the visitors to show up and pick up three points.

Swansea v Bournemouth Predictions

Bournemouth to win: The Cherries have to be a bit of value as they head to the Liberty Stadium on the weekend. They are unbeaten in their last three games there and with the struggles that the Welsh club are having at the moment, the Cherries have to be good value to extend their current positive form.
