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

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.

Chelsea still tops the table with 22 points from 8 matches. They lost their first match of the season last week however when Manchester United won a controversial game 3-2 thanks to an offside goal after Chelsea had two men sent off.  They are still in a prime position to challenge for the title and it looks to be a 3 horse race between them and the Manchester clubs. They had won 4 in a row before the defeat and 4 of their last 5 matches have been over 2.5 goals.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Swansea dominated Liverpool 3-1 midweek in a game they were big outsiders in (8.0 tipped in the prediction for the match on howtobet). They have shown they are able to hang with the top teams after playing a strong match in a 1-0 loss away at Man City last week. The players have great belief in their short passing style and don’t revert to a more direct style even against the top sides. They will continue this against Chelsea and look to control as much possession as they can to stop Chelsea’s great attacking threat.

Chelsea felt really hard done by last week in their loss to Manchester United but their win in the League Cup on Wednesday will go some way to alleviating that.  They have been the best quality side in the league so far this year and if they continue playing with the dynamic attack they have so far then they will be in the title hunt.

SWANSEA CITY V CHELSEA PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Despite being the away side Chelsea are strong favourites for this.  They have been in excellent form this year and they should continue it this week.

I think the 1.8 on a Chelsea win with William Hill is the best bet in this market.

SWANSEA CITY - CHELSEA PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

If you want to increase the risk for some more juicy odds then the AH market gives us a nice option with Chelsea -0.75.  This means half the bet is on a normal Chelsea win and half is on Chelsea -1.  Any Chelsea win will lead to a profit but only a multiple goal victory will win the full bet.

Ladbrokes are offering a strong 2.04 on this which I think is a good bet.

SWANSEA CITY - CHELSEA PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

Swansea haven’t scored many goals lately with just 4 in their last 5 matches but still 3 of those 5 games have ended with over 2.5 goals.  Chelsea have seen plenty of goals all season and all of their past 5 matches have ended with over 2.5 goals.

As you can imagine, Over 2.5 goals is the favourite here but I still feel the 1.73 available with Pinnacle is a bet.
