Swansea vs Southampton tips and predictions

Not much stands out in prices ahead of tight Club Friendly encounter

These teams come from different leagues but the stats look good for the hosts. They'll be some surprise if Southampton find this uncomfortable.

This could well be one of those encounters where Swansea just do enough to get the job done and they're sure to face some resistance from this Southampton outfit.

Whether it's significant or not, Swansea might have reasons to be confident about adding to Southampton's latest reverses. The visitors have taken defeat in 5 away matches on the spin. That might not be suitable preparation for this one.

The hosts have had some excellent spells. Swansea have scored two or more goals in 5 of their recent 10 matches while keeping alert at the back. In defence, they have conceded no more than once in 17 of their last 20 home games.

Southampton can be hit when they lose their shape. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 10 matches. But their problems don't seem to be isolated to the first-third of their formation. The Saints have only scored once in their last 5 away games.

Don't be surprised to see these sides ending up with honours even though. The betting markets imply that both sides can score as they could be well matched. It's all about value though and with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that seems the better option here. And in the total goals line, it's under 2.5 goals standing out in this one considering the prices available. Everything in this preview will rest on how the hosts cope with a level of football they aren't used to.
