Swansea vs Stoke Preview and Betting Tips

Swansea v Stoke betting tips: Swansea City will look to bounce back from defeat in the South Wales derby as they take on Stoke at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday afternoon and we have free football tips for the match.

The home side are the favourites in the latest betting odds with best odds of Vvens coming from Betfred, who also offer the best price on the draw, at 5/2. Stoke can be found at a best price of 7/2 from Ladbrokes.

Swansea haven’t had quite the start to the season that many would have expected, winning just three of their opening ten games. Perhaps the extra demands of playing in the Europa League, something they had to contend with in the run up to this match having drew 1-1 in Russia, have effected their form, but the visit of Stoke should present an ideal opportunity for a return to winning ways.

The visitors sit just one place and one point above the drop zone, and haven’t won in the Premier League since August. Mark Hughes has tried to get the Potters playing a more attractive brand of football than previously under Tony Pulis, which is all well and good, but when after 10 games the goalkeeper is a clubs joint top scorer there are clearly issues in front of goal where it matters. Swansea will however be without joint top scorer, Michu, who is set for a month on the sidelines with an ankle injury, so goals may not be at a premium in this one.

The last four meetings between these two sides have ended in home wins, all by a two goal margin. If you think history could repeat itself this season, Sky Bet offer odds of 5/1 on a Swansea victory by two goals. The Swans will be hurting after defeat to bitter rivals Cardiff last weekend, and I expect some sort of response. On paper, they should have too much for this Stoke side and manager Michael Laudrup will demand a performance. Swansea to win to nil can be found at 11/5 with Coral.

In the absence of Michu, it will be left to Wilfred Bony to lead the line and after his Europa League goal on Thursday he can be backed to open the scoring at a generous 5/1 from Bet365. Jonathan de Guzman scored twice in this fixture last year, and despite a slowish start to the campaign is a constant threat, especially from set pieces. He can be backed to score anytime at 5/1 with Bet Victor and that is our final betting tip for the match. The Premier League has already shown this year that anybody can beat anybody, but all I can see from this fixture is a home win as Swansea need to recover quickly from a bad result and get their season back on track.
