Swansea – Arsenal PREDICTION & PREVIEW (14.01.2017)

Over (+) 2.5

Very good gentlemen! We go with a Premier League match between Swansea City and Arsenal.

Party that faces the penultimate classified of the Premier with the Arsenal, one of the candidates for the title. The match is played at Liberty Stadium, the Swansea court. For this meeting I find it interesting to bet that 3 or more goals are scored, because everything indicates this. I’m going to go with that score +2.5 goals, but I would also recommend betting that “Score Both” or something like that. Let’s talk about some party things, starting with the local side.

Swansea are having their worst season since joining the Premier League a few years ago. The Welsh have signed a few players as the Spanish strikers Fernando Llorente and Borja Bastón, but none of the signings brings something different to the team. For his part, have already passed two coaches by the bench of the “swans” and none has known or could hit the key to change. Nevertheless, they are still alive and can still leave these posts, because they are to a point of the Crystal Palace, equipment that marks the zone of salvation. In addition, of the 4 teams from the lower zone, Wales are the team that scored the most goals, 23 in 19 games, but they are also the team that has scored the most goals in the Premier League. No doubt, interesting data for our bet.

Next, I’ll show you the Swansea City matches as a local:

12/31/16 – Swansea City 0-3 Bournemouth
12/26/16 – Swansea City 1-4 West Ham
10/12/16 – Swansea City 3-0 Sunderland
11/26/16 – Swansea City 5-4 Crystal Palace
06/11/16 – Swansea City 1-3 Manchester United

In their last 5 Swansea games at home, there has been an average of 4 goals scored per game. In addition, they all exceeded the line of 2.5 goals, highlighting Swansea City – Cristal Palace in which they scored 9 goals, a veritable barbarity.

For their part, the Gunners are still in the hype of potential candidates to win the title. It is true that the Chelsea of ​​Conte does not yield and brings 8 points to Arsenal, but these do not cease. The irregularity and defensive fragility is what is killing those of Arsene Wenger, who, instead, are the most scoring team in the Premier League. They can not play a game like this that they have everything in favor to win, because they visit the penultimate classified. But as I say, Arsenal are a fragile team in defense, so in their games often score enough goals. These have been his last meetings at home:

07/01/17 – Preston North End 1-2 Arsenal
03/01/17 – Bournemouth 3-3 Arsenal
18/12/16 – Manchester City 2-1 Arsenal
13/12/16 – Everton 2-1 Arsenal
12/06/16 – Basel 1-4 Arsenal
03/12/16 – West Ham 1-5 Arsenal

No matter what Champions League, FA Cup, Premier League, Arsenal matches are a real festival of goals. In all these last 6 matches they have scored both teams and have passed the line of 2.5 goals, having an average of 4 goals per game, the same as in the last Swansea matches at home.

Finally, show you the Swansea-Arsenal of the last campaigns:

10/31/15 – Swansea City 0-3 Arsenal
09/11/14 – Swansea City 2-1 Arsenal
28/09/13 – Swansea City 1-2 Arsenal

Everything predicts that it will be a game with goals, in fact, already saw the faces this season, in the first round. The game was played in October at the Emirates Stadium and the Londoners took the victory. That match ended 3-2. Therefore, I will go with that score +2.5 goals in the match, that is, 3 goals or more.

Luck to whoever follows it!
