Swansea vs Stoke: Top Free Betting Tips

Swansea City go up against Stoke City at home in the next EFL Championship fixture on Tuesday, 21 February. Both teams will be looking to bounce back after suffering a defeat in their last league games.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes

Stoke City have been struggling to find the back of the net in their last two away games, but they've managed to score in four out of their last five away matches against Swansea. Unfortunately for the Swans, they haven't been able to keep a clean sheet in any of their last nine games across all competitions. However, they have been scoring goals consistently in their last five home matches. Interestingly, four out of the last five meetings between these two teams at Swansea's home stadium have seen both teams score. Given these factors, we anticipate a similar outcome for this game.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

Swansea City's record at home hasn't been stellar, but they've managed to find the back of the net 11 times in their last five home matches. Stoke City, on the other hand, have had a tough time in their last two away games, but have still managed to score six goals in their previous five away outings. Unfortunately, Swansea's defence hasn't been solid lately, conceding a total of nine goals in their last four home games. Interestingly, four out of the last five times these two teams have faced off at Swansea's home stadium have resulted in high-scoring matches. Given the current circumstances, we expect this game to follow suit and be another high-scoring affair.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-2 Draw

Swansea hit the target twice in the last home game against Blackpool and scored more than once in three of the recent four home league outings. Stoke City have also rattled the net twice or more in three of the recent six attempts in various competitions. Defensively, the Swans have leaked at least twice in three of the last four home duels while the Potters allowed five goals in the last five away outings. Hence, we see the teams sharing the points with a 2-2 scoreline at the end.

Swansea vs Stoke: Form, Recent Games, and News

Swansea City Preview

The Swans faced a consecutive second away defeat in the last game with an 1-0 result against Blackburn Rovers. The team has registered a total of 11 wins and nine draws in the 32 league games and is currently present in the twelfth position on the table. Steven Benda and Liam Walsh will be out of this game due to injury concerns.

As it stands, they are seven points away from the playoff slats and have time to make up for their mistakes. They have lost three of their last four fixtures and need to straighten their act or forget their promotion hopes. Their attacking unit has lived up to the expectations with Joel Piroe impressing at the tip of their attack. While others have faltered, Oliver Cooper and Olivier Ntcham need to be lauded for their impressive performances in the middle of the park.

Stoke City Preview

The Potters also continued their away losing streak in the last game with a 1-0 defeat against Blackpool. Getting a total of ten wins and seven draws in 32 league duels, Stoke City stand in the nineteenth position on the points table. The club gaffer Alex Neil doesn’t have to report any fitness issues in the team coming into this game.

Stoke has a six-point cushion over the relegation slots and finds themselves five points behind Swansea. They have one fewer victory than the Swans but have been let down by their goalscoring feats. They do not have a standout attacker, which has put extra pressure on Lewis Baker and Tyrese Campbell. At the back, the defensive unit needs to be lauded as they have conceded fewer goals than six teams above them.
