LiontipsSwansea vs Manchester City: betting tip and bets on the English League Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Swansea is one of the strong middleweights of the Championship. In 12 rounds, the Swans scored 16 points, which put them on the 13th place in the table. The team is usually powerful on its own field, where it took nine points, and suffered only two defeats since the beginning of the season. In the League Cup, Alan Sheehan's team started in the 1/64 finals, where they confidently beat Crowley Town (3:1). The result was a stubborn confrontation with Plymouth, which managed to pass only in a penalty shootout. In the 1/16 finals, Swansea had the Premier League representative Nottingham Forest in their rivals - a 3-2 home victory.
Disqualifications and injuries
Swansea have only Ricardo on their injury list.
Interesting betting trends

- In three of the previous five matches involving Swansea, there was an exchange of goals scored.
Approximate composition: Fischer— Keu, Kabango, Burgess, Timon— Galbraith, Stamenich — Ronald, Cullen, Om — Vipotnik.
Current form
Manchester City was on an impressive nine-match winning streak, taking into account all tournaments. However, in the last round of the Premier League, the successful streak ended on the road with Aston Villa - a 0 defeat.:1. As a result, after nine rounds in the standings, the townspeople are fifth and already six points behind Arsenal, which does not allow itself to misfire. Overall, Josep Guardiola's team has improved significantly over the course of the season, the newcomers have managed to adapt, and Holland is in excellent shape. It is unlikely that the defeat by Aston Villa indicates any serious decline. In the League Cup at the previous stage, Manchester City dealt with Huddersfield 2-0 on the road, and in the 1/8 finals we again see an opponent who is noticeably inferior in class.
Disqualifications and injuries
Rodri and Khusanov are still injured.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last four matches, Manchester City players fouled less often than their opponents.
- The townspeople won three of the previous five matches in the first half.
Approximate composition: Trafford – Nunez, Stones, Ake, O'Reilly– Lewis – Bobb, Foden, Reynders, Doku – Mukasa.

7.20Tip and bets
We believe that Swansea's cup exploits will end today. In the previous round, we managed to beat the declining Nottingham Forest, but today the opponent is of a completely different caliber. Even despite the defeat in the last round of the Premier League by Aston Villa, Guardiola's team is now on track: there have been no defensive failures for a long time when they allowed opponents to recoup, the stellar attack led by Holland is clearly doing its job. Yes, of course, it's worth waiting for the rotation, but there are a decent number of cool performers who have something to prove. We expect that the favorite will easily qualify for the quarterfinals today.
Our betting tip is that Manchester City will win with an Asian handicap (-2) by a factor of 2.12
Bet on the total
Manchester City has an excellent selection of attacking players, even with rotation. Swansea can easily use one of their chances on their own field, especially in standard positions. We are waiting for a productive game.
The second bet is a total of more than three goals with a coefficient of 1.68
A bet on yellow cards
Swansea is a pretty rough team, even by the standards of the Championship. In three of the previous four matches, the Swans received more yellow cards than their opponents. Obviously, you will have to spend a lot of time on the defensive today, fouls and warnings are inevitable.
Prediction – Swansea win on yellow cards with a coefficient of 1.58
