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

Liverpool is not having the season they expected under new boss Brendan Rodgers.  They are a lowly 12^th in the table with just 10 points from 9 matches and need to improve their results quickly if they are to keep close to the teams ahead of them.  Their recent form has been fairly strong with both their wins coming in a 4 match unbeaten spell, albeit against some poor opposition.  They were unlucky last week to leave Everton with a 2-2 draw after a last minute winner was wrongly ruled out for offside. 

Swansea had an amazing start to the league but struggled to keep that surprise form up and have struggled since.  They are 11^th in the table with 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses from their 9 EPL games.  They have lost 3 of their last 5 games but the last few weeks have seen a small improvement with a draw vs reading followed up with a win against Wigan and finally a 1-0 defeat away at City which is better than most teams would fare.  They must look to get back to their early season form and pick up some more wins before they get dragged towards the foot of the table.   3 of their last 5 matches have had over 2.5 goals.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Liverpool has a very small squad this season and are unlikely to subject their top players like Suarez and Gerrard to unnecessary games such as this.  In the Europa League so far Liverpool has rotated many of their first team players and I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw the same in this match.

Swansea have also played a weakened team in previous rounds of this competition but I feel they may take this match a bit more seriously than Liverpool.  They will give any players in need of a rest the match off but I’d still expect a large amount of first team players to be involved. 

LIVERPOOL V SWANSEA CITY PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Liverpool are very strong favourites for this one as the home side and I think the market are overvaluing them too much.  Swansea are a strong side who can score goals and their large price is making a tempting bet.

Bet365 are offering a huge 8.0 on a Swansea win which I certainly don’t feel is out of the question.  It only needs to occur over 12.5% of the time to make the bet profitable and I think this is the best bet in this market.

LIVERPOOL - SWANSEA CITY PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

If you don’t like betting on such large outsiders then the Asian Handicap market allows us to reduce the risk of the bet.

We can back Swansea +1 which means any draw or Swansea win, our bet wins.  And even if Swansea lose by 1 goal, we get our money back.  The only loss for us is a multiple goal Liverpool win.

188bet are the best price here with Swansea +1 a very tempting 2.19.

LIVERPOOL - SWANSEA CITY PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

Liverpool had a few low scoring matches before their 2-2 draw at the weekend, with 3 matches in a row with 1 or less goals.  Swansea matches have seen a few more with 3 of their last 5 being over 2.5 goals.

Despite the relative lack of goals the over is a huge favourite in this market.  I think the value has be in going against the market and backing Under 2.5 Goals at a very nice 2.3 with Stan James.
