PREVIEW: Swansea v Leicester

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]hank you Tottenham Hotspur v Asteras Tripolis – BOTH my recommended bets were landed on Thursday when Spurs romped to their 5-1 win:

BACK BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE at around 5/4 for 4 points with Star Sports
BACK OVER 3.5 GOALS at around 7/4 for 4 points with Star Sports

A very handy 12 point profit haul to boost the profit on the column since the start of the World Cup to 19.79 points.

It’s a Premier League weekend and the highlight very much being Man U v Chelsea at 4pm tomorrow.

That will of course be the preview tomorrow but on Saturday I’m concentrating on the tea-time action at the Liberty Stadium.

HEAD TO HEAD RECORD
(Max 10 matches)
Jan 2011 Championship Leicester 2-1 Swansea
Oct 2010 Championship Swansea 2-0 Leicester
Jan 2010 Championship Swansea 1-0 Leicester
Jan 2010 FA Cup Leicester 2-1 Swansea
Aug 2009 Championship Leicester 2-1 Swansea
Oct 1986 League Cup Leicester 4-2 Swansea
Sep 1986 League Cup Swansea 0-2 Leicester
Feb 1980 Div 2 (old) Leicester 1-1 Swansea
Sep 1979 Div 2 (old) Swansea 0-2 Leicester
Mar 1957 Div 2 (old) Swansea 2-3 Leicester

There’s not too much ‘previous’ between these two sides, indeed the last 10 head to head records stretch back to 1957 !

Swansea have made the brighter start to the current campaign and sit in eighth in the table with Leicester, who were promoted from the Championship last season, in 15th.

Swansea will look for all three points after a recent wobble. They are now without a win in five league games (D2, L3) having won their previous four in a row.

Leicester were involved in what yet could prove one of the matches of the season when playing three up front and beating Manchester United 5-3 but Nigel Pearson’s side have failed to win since and are struggling especially away from home having scored just one goal in their four Premier League away games this season.

I’m keeping it simple and backing The Swans at around 10/11 with Star Sports.

RECOMMENDED BETS (scale of 1-50 points)

BACK SWANSEA at around 10/11 for 7 points with Star Sports

RETURN SINCE START OF WORLD CUP: PROFIT 19.97 POINTS
