Swansea City - Stoke City predictions

Stoke City will give Swansea City a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.40 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against The Swans on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

Swansea will want to forget their previous Championship match as quickly as possible. They were trailing behind for the entire match, after conceding early in the game. Ultimately, a Middlesbrough away defeat ended up being quite an embarrassment.

This game’s away team played as the hosts in the previous round, but their opponents West Bromwich Albion were still seen as the most likely winners of that clash. Worse yet, The Potters fell behind in the first half, so the 2:2 draw they eventually recorded can be seen as something of a success.

Whether they’re playing home or away, Swansea City games are rarely as exciting as fans might want them to be. Thheir previous five outings all had less than 3 goals at the 90-minute mark.

The Potters have a notoriously bad track record when it comes to defending their posts. Though their recent streak of 5 conceded goals over 3 home games does not directly apply here, it’s still bad news.

Neither team has been able to secure a conclusive finish in this matchup throughout the season. They clashed more than once in the past year and recorded several draws despite Swansea being seen as the favourites.

Wednesday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.88.
