CHELSEA V SWANSEA CITY PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS AND FACTS

Chelsea are currently 4^th in the EPL with 38 points from 20 matches. They can move up to 3^rd place ahead of Tottenham if they win their game in hand but that would still leave them 11 points behind leaders Manchester United.

Swansea are 9^th in the EPL with 29 points from 21 matches. They are again punching above their weight in their second season in the Premiership and look like a team who have been here for years.

This is a great opportunity for both clubs to get to a cup final, Chelsea fans are the most expectant of course after their historic Champions League win last season and they will expect a trophy of some sort this season. For Swansea fans this would seem like a dream if you asked them 5 years ago as they built their way up from the lowest league division to holding their own in the self-professed “Best League in the World”.

Chelsea will want to get a lead in this first leg to take the pressure off the return leg in Wales. Swansea will be happy to keep the game tight and would happily take a draw at the moment.

CHELSEA V SWANSEA CITY PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Chelsea are big favourites for this first leg of the League Cup semi-final. The team will know this season is already a downgrade on last year as they are out of the Champions League and well behind in the league, so this could be their best chance at a trophy this year. Swansea’s main concern is the league but since they are comfortably mid-table they can afford to play full strength sides over both legs.

Back a Chelsea win at 1.41 with 188bet.

CHELSEA V SWANSEA CITY PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

If those odds aren’t big enough for you then you can find some more risk and reward in the Asian Handicap market. Backing Chelsea -1.5 means they have to win by 2 clear goals to win the bet.

Find Chelsea -1.5 at 2.13 with Pinnacle.

CHELSEA V SWANSEA CITY PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

Chelsea has seen an average of 3.8 goals per game over their last 5 matches while Swansea has seen 2.6 goals per game over the same period.

The over is a strong favourite here as you would expect but I still think there is plenty of value available with Stan James who are offering Over 2.5 Goals at 1.62
