Swansea v Manchester United Betting Preview – Premier League 19th August 12.30pm

The Swans got a point on the road as they managed to avoid defeat out at Southampton on the opening weekend of the season. Question is, can they do anything to avoid defeat at home this weekend against Manchester United? The Red Devils came flying out of the gates to put a convincing home win on the board against West Ham with Romelu Lukaku weighing in with a couple. They look as if they mean a bit of business this season.

Swansea v Manchester United Betting Tips

Swansea have some money in the bank at least having sold off Gylfi Sigurdsson to Everton this week. But they have to go into the weekend’s lunchtime kick off now against Manchester United with no time to have done anything with that cash. So not an easy home opener for the Swans then this season and this comes after they dug out a point on the road at Southampton last weekend. Southampton could have been out of sight early on in that one, but the visitors rode their luck and took a point. Last season in the Premier League, Swansea posted a W8 D3 L8 record at the Liberty Stadium but only won two of their first eleven games there. Defensively they were a mess last season and nothing really has been done to remedy that. Because the home side may have their troubles containing the visitors, over 2.5 goals at 17/20 with Coral is going to have some appeal here. Going forward Fernando Llorente is a 7/2 anytime goalscorer option for them.

Swansea suffered a 3-1 home loss against Manchester United last season in the Premier league, but they had won their two previous to that at the Liberty Stadium against the Red Devils. In the Coral Correct Score market, a Manchester United 1-0 and a Manchester United 2-0 are joint 11/2 favourite options to weight up. United opened their new season in some style as they romped to a 4-0 home win over West Ham. Romelu Lukaku immediately rewarded them after his summer transfer by getting a brace and Lukaku is 3/1 First Goalscorer favorite at Coral in this one. The Red Devils looked very strong and clinical in that opening match and they shouldn’t be tested too much in this one. The Red Devils have netted in each of their previous twelve Premier League games against Swansea and interestingly, both teams have scored in seven of the last eight, and if you wanted a flutter on that trend, that is a price of 11/10 at Coral to happen again.

Swansea v Manchester United Predictions

Manchester United to win: The Red Devils can’t be ignored after their strong start last weekend and they shouldn’t find Swansea any tougher to handle than West Ham really. So a good chance for the Red Devils to make it six points from six and back them to win to nil to add a little value.
