Swansea vs Norwich Betting Tips & Predictions

Swansea put in a really good performance in midweek to defeat the faltering Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates, a result which took them six points clear of the drop zone. This win also ended their four match winless streak in the Premier League.

But Swansea have improved drastically since Francesco Guidolin took charge of the team, and the fact that three of their last seven outings have ended in victory and only two have seen them defeated makes me think that the Swans have a very good chance of steering clear of relegation.

I’m not so confident about Norwich though. They have lost eight of their last nine matches in all competitions and failed to win any of them, leaving them inside the relegation zone on goal difference.

This run has included some really crucial fixtures against fellow relegation candidates, but even with this added importance they couldn’t manage to beat Bournemouth or Aston Villa, and I think they’ll find it tough on Saturday too.

The Norwich defence is, for lack of a better word, abysmal. They have conceded more than any other team in the Premier League this season and have shipped 24 goals in their nine match winless streak. However, they have made a marginal improvement recently by shipping under two goals per game on average in their last five matches.

Swansea’s attack haven’t been their best this season either, and it seems a long time ago that Jefferson Montero, Bafetimbi Gomis, and Andre Ayew were lighting up Welsh faces with their pacey attacking play. Even against the disastrous Norwich defence I think they’ll struggle a bit. I’m expecting a low scoring game for this reason, and odds of 8/11 for Under 2.5 Goals look good value to me.

I’m backing the Swans to win it though. The visitors have lost ten of their last 11 away days in all competitions, so a 1-0 win for Swansea at 13/2 is what I’m going for on Saturday.
