Swansea vs West Ham Prediction & Betting tips
Swansea City is under the line, but this week the awkward West Ham United is visiting and so there might be some possible for the club from Wales. At West Ham United they can also use a victory, as the club from London only won once in the last five games.
Swansea :
Swansea City is still in relegation distress and that will remain the same throughout the season. The Swans have as many points as Crystal Palace and Southampton, two teams that are above the mark, but are based on the goal difference among these clubs. Last weekend, Swansea City had to cash in no less than four hits when they visited Brighton & Hove Albion and The Swans only scored once against Brighton and that goal was also an own goal by Brighton defender Lewis Dunk.
Swansea succeeded on Tuesday evening in securing a spot in the quarter finals of the FA Cup. Two weeks ago, Carlos Carvalhal’s team made a 0-0 draw on visiting his former employer Sheffield Wednesday and so a replay had to be finished on Tuesday evening at the Liberty Stadium. Swansea City won 2-0 vs. Sheffield by goals in the second half of Jordan Ayew and Nathan Dyer. In two weeks, Tottenham Hotspur will be the opponent of The Swans in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup, and so Cup Success seems almost impossible this season for Carvalhal and his team.
The FA Cup will not interest Swansea much, because the Premier League is a lot more important. Carvalhal saw that his team lost only one of the last twelve matches in all competitions, so things are going in the right direction with Swansea. With three wins and a draw from the last five games, The Swans are not doing too badly in the Premier League, but they are still under the line and West Ham United has to change that. The Swans recently won 1-0 vs. Liverpool and 3-1 from Arsenal in the home stadium and have also won six games at the Liberty Stadium so fans of Swansea are confident that three points can be won when West Ham United comes to visit on Saturday.
West Ham :
Then we come to West Ham United from the team led by the Scot David Moyes. Also at West Ham United they had to fear for relegation for a long time, but now the dark clouds above the London Stadium have largely disappeared. The Hammers are in a good 13th place in the league and it seems like you do not have to worry about a relegation battle anymore, but a look at the ranking also shows that West Ham United only has a lead of three points on Swansea City and the other relegation candidates.
West Ham United could have left the relegation stress long ago if it were not for The Hammers to barely catch points in the last weeks. The Hammers only took three points from their last three games in the Premier League and were recently eliminated by Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup. Last weekend, Moyes saw his team fall 4-1 down on Liverpool and that defeat was entirely justified. The Hammers had nothing to look for at Anfield and the only positive thing about the trip to Liverpool was that Michail Antonio made his second league goal this season on behalf of West Ham United. In addition, Manuel Lanzini also made minutes for West Ham United and that is how the infirmary of The Hamers gradually emptied.
Last season, West Ham managed to win 1-4 with a visit to Swansea City, but in the current form they can be happy at West Ham United if they can get a tip in Wales at all. A hefty defeat at the Liberty Stadium will however ensure that The Hammers have to look down on the rankings again and that will prevent Moyes at all costs. West Ham, however, did not win three away games and the chance that a fourth game will be added this weekend is very big.
