Swansea V Manchester City Predictions & Betting Odds

Swansea v Manchester City Betting Tips – Premier League 13th December 7.45pm

Swansea gave themselves a glimmer of hope with a home win over West Brom on the weekend to at least get them off the bottom of the table, dropping Crystal Palace back beneath them. However, they may not get much of a chance to back that up though as they play Man City in midweek. The Citizens made it 14 straight wins as they went to Old Trafford and beat Manchester United with a 2-1 victory to extend their lead at the top of the table to eleven points.

Swansea News and Form

Swansea badly needed a win from somewhere and they got one on the weekend as they took out the slumping West Brom with a 1-0 win at the Liberty Stadium against them. That crucial goal came from Wilfried Bony. So that has set them up with a chance of getting out of the Premier League relegation zone in the midweek round of matches, however, they have a pretty tough game ahead of them here. The Swans have only scored the nine goals in their sixteen league games this season, but even though they are floundering in the relegation zone, they haven’t been all that terrible defensively. They actually boast a better defensive record than some top half of the table sides like Arsenal, Liverpool and Leicester but their own lack of output up front has hurt them badly. It is hard to see there being too much in this game for them and in the William Hill correct score market, a Manchester City 2-0 is the shortest priced option at 13/2. City are a 21/20 price to turn up and win with a clean sheet. The Swans have been losing at halftime in four of their eight home fixtures so far this season where they have posted a W2 D1 L5 record with just the five goals scored. They have failed to hit the back of the net in four of the last six matches now in the top flight.

Manchester City News and Form

Manchester City landed themselves a win at Old Trafford against Manchester United on the weekend to send themselves eleven points clear at the top from their rivals. Each of City’s last four wins in the top flight have all been by a 2-1 scoreline and they have shown that they can win both ugly and beautiful this season, although the big wins have certainly dried up for them recently. City have won all eight of their away games so far this season in the Premier League and they have averaged above 2.5 goals on their travels and the indicators are that they should be comfortable against a low scoring side likes Swansea. Manchester City have only conceded five goals in their eight away games and both teams not to score with William Hill looks a good 4/5 option to be considering for the fixture. Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus again go as joint anytime goalscorer favourites for a game at a price of 8/13. Four of the five goals that Man City have conceded away from the Etihad have been in the first half of matches, while they have scored 60% of their away goals after the break. Nine of City’s twenty away goals have turned up in the final half hour of matches. City have opened the scoring in six of their eight away games as well and have every chance of making if fifteen straight wins.

Swansea v Manchester City Head to Head

City are undefeated in their last ten Premier League games against Swansea now and last season they won at the Liberty Stadium in both the league and the EFL Cup. Perhaps surprisingly though, both teams have scored in each of the last eight meetings in all competitions between the two clubs. City have won three of their last four visits to the Liberty Stadium (D1) in the top flight.
