Swansea vs Aston Villa Betting Tips & Predictions

Swansea’s dramatic 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth may have left them without any points, but you can’t deny that their performance was a vast improvement on the terrible form that they suffered earlier in the season.

This improvement has yielded some results, with wins against Arsenal and Norwich massively strengthening their position in the Premier League relegation battle. They are now eight points clear of the relegation zone and just seven points off that all important 40 point marker. A win on Saturday would put them well within their means of achieving safety.

Aston Villa haven’t got any chance of reaching 40 points if we’re honest. They remain at the bottom of the Premier League with just 16 points from their 30 Premier League games. They would need to win all of their remaining matches to hit this landmark.

At the moment it doesn’t even look like they are capable of winning one of their remaining eight matches. They come into this match having lost five matches on the bounce and having lost seven of their last eight.

Swansea’s improvement in attack should continue on Saturday. They have scored five goals in their last three matches in the Premier League and are facing a Villa side who have shipped 17 goals in their last five matches.

I’m expecting the hosts to get a rather comfortable victory on Saturday, and odds of 8/13 for a Swansea Win look really good value for money considering Aston Villa have lost 12 of their last 16 away games and haven’t won on the road since the opening day of the season. I’m backing a 2-0 correct score prediction at 13/2 as well.
