Manchester United – Swansea Prediction & Preview and Betting Tips (30.04.2017)

Prediction for Manchester United – Swansea

More than 3.5 HA cards @ 1.87

Manchester United

We are going to Old Trafford for a decisive match for both. United are one step ahead of qualifying for the Champions League without having to rely on the Europa League. It is only one point from the City and two from Liverpool, however, the latter have one more game. So they rely on themselves to reach the Champions League. Swansea is on the verge of a downhill, only two points behind the Hull who will play the day before and will therefore increase pressure regardless of the Tigers’ result. So the two need to win and that is synonymous with hardness and cards, at least in theory.

-The United is one of the most foul teams in the competition with an average of 2.1 yellow and have only taught two reds throughout the championship. Usually it is a pretty hard set and with some distribution of cards between the whole team, emphasizes Fellaini although this encounter will not play it precisely by sanction.

Swansea

Swansea are a pretty soft team at the time of the cards, only have 1.6 yellows on average this season. And also, they have not shown any red. I would never bet on Swansea to cards other than the need for points. It needs to be used thoroughly and put the leg if necessary.

-The referee will be Neal Swarbrick, irregular and with an average of 3.9 yellows per game. It has only shown a red throughout the competition. Little given to the expulsions. It already refereed the way with only two cards but the United won with clarity (1-3) and the meeting was in November. Obviously this match is not going to be like that, there will be more harshness for what is played and Swarbrick just a few days ago refereed the United-Everton with 5 yellow and a red at Old Trafford. Of his last 10 matches in 7 would be green and of the total, of 20 matches in 14 would be green.

If we recapitulate we have: an average of 3.7 cards between both and 3.9 of the referee. In addition, United’s losses are heavy because Ibra, Fellaini, Smalling, Mata or Rojo will not play and Pogba is doubtful. As I said, Swansea will play knowing what the Hull did and whatever they do, they should try to win. I said, easy is not but more than 3.5 cards should be, with 4 I would not have dared … good luck !!!
