Command Analysis
Swansea City
WalesCurrent form
Swansea were not considered clear contenders for a playoff spot before the start of the season, but the selection of players allowed the Welsh team to count on a mid-table finish without a serious fight for survival. At the moment, Luke Williams' team is in 12th place in the table with 33 points and is 11 points clear of the relegation zone - such a handicap allows them to look to the future with optimism. In the last round, the Swans unexpectedly lost 0:4 away to Portsmouth, thus breaking a series of two victories in a row and missing the opportunity to get closer to the playoff zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
Cooper, Fisher, Franco, Ginnelly and Parker are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Swansea have won their last two home games
- Swansea have scored in their last six home games
Estimated lineup: Vigoro - Naughton, Cabango, Darling, Tymon - Fulton, Grimes, Ronald, Cullen, Eom - Bianchini.
West Bromwich Albion
EnglandCurrent form
West Bromwich, unlike their opponents today, were among the main contenders for a playoff spot before the start of the season, and their selection of players allowed them to set such serious goals. So far, Chris Brunt team has lived up to expectations and is in sixth place in the table with 39 points, ahead of Blackburn only on additional indicators, with Watford two points behind, and both opponents have played a match less. Having beaten Preston 3-1 in the last round, West Bromwich won their ninth victory of the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ajayi, Daryll, Holgate and Mowatt are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- West Bromwich have won just one of their last three matches.
- West Brom have beaten Swansea twice in their last three matches
Probable line-up: Palmer - Stiles, Heggem, Bartley, Furlong - Diakite, Molumby, Johnston, Grant, Fellows - Maja.

2.19Tip and bets
Swansea have looked decent in their last two matches and earned six points against Luton and QPR, scoring five goals. At home, the Swans traditionally play aggressively in attack and even in less successful matches they rarely keep their opponents clean sheets, while West Bromwich defense will face a tough test. However, the Thrushes have their own plans for three points in the upcoming match, while the visitors have much more ambitious goals and quality attacking players - an exchange of goals in such a match is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.79
Bet on the outcome
West Bromwich got a very important win in the last round, which allowed them to stay in the playoff zone, but the competition for a place in the top six is off the charts, and one failure can lead to serious consequences. It is obvious that the Blackbirds will play only for victory today and in general the guests are capable of setting such goals for themselves - Swansea has not been particularly reliable throughout the season, only occasionally giving bright flashes on their field. West Bromwich also has an advantage in terms of player selection, it makes sense to give preference to the guests.
Bet - Asian handicap (0) on West Bromwich. This bet is offered for 1.97
Bet on corners
Swansea will clearly spend a lot of time attacking at home, but West Bromwich are quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.61
