West Ham vs Swansea Betting Tips & Predictions

West Ham’s 3-0 win over the dismal West Brom last weekend put their sustained challenge for a top four spot in the Premier League back on track as 5th placed Manchester United drew with Leicester. The Hammers now find themselves a point adrift of Manchester United and five behind Manchester City, but they have a game in hand over Man City. It will take quite a lot good fortune, but West Ham still have a genuine chance of achieving Champions League qualification this season.

Their victory at the Hawthorns made it back to back wins for West Ham after their 3-1 triumph over Watford, and despite their difficulties getting three points they have only lost one of their last 14 outings in all competitions.

In the Premier League they are unbeaten in ten matches, with the results split at five wins and five draws. At home in the Premier League Slaven Bilic’s outfit haven’t lost since the end of August, a run of 15 consecutive matches.

Swansea put on a fine display last weekend when they beat Liverpool 3-1 at the Liberty Stadium, and it was welcome after a 3-0 defeat to Newcastle and a 4-0 loss to Leicester.

The Swans are well clear of relegation trouble now, and that safety has brought about it the resting of Swansea mainstay Ashley Williams ahead of Euro 2016. Fellow key figure Gylfi Sigurdsson is also out injured, so the Swansea squad has taken a bit of a hit.

The Hammers defence hasn’t been at it’s best recently though. They have conceded in eight of their last nine games in all competitions, although to be fair to them they have netted in all of those games.

Swansea have also seen both teams get on the scoresheet more often than not, with 11 of their last 17 outings seeing both teams score and eight of their last ten away from home. This makes odds of 4/5 for Both Teams to Score very good value, but I’m backing West Ham to extend their winning streak against the depleted Swansea squad with a 2-1 correct score prediction at 7/1.
