Sports Blog 18/01/2016: Premier League betting preview; Swansea City v Watford



Swansea’s recent run of successful managers has come crashing to a halt since the departure of Garry Monk - so can the imminent arrival of Francesco Guidolin inspire the Swans to jump out of the drop zone with victory against Watford tonight?


Since Monk’s departure, caretaker boss Alan Curtis has won just one in seven during which time the Welsh outfit have fallen into the bottom three in the Premier League and exited the FA Cup to League Two Oxford United.

So it’s a tough task for 60-year-old former Udinese, Palermo and Parma chief Guidolin, who looks set to work alongside Curtis until the end of the season in a bid to save the Swans’ season.

Watford by contrast enjoyed a superb start to life in the top flight after promotion from the Championship and this achieved after bringing in new manager Quique Sanchez Flores and half a new squad.

The wheels do appear to have come off of late however with just one win in five for the Hornets, so it’s two out of form teams that come face to face at the Liberty.

The Spreadex traders are very slightly edging with the hosts for this one with the Goal Supremacy at Swansea/Watford 0.15 – 0.35.

Punters seem fairly split in their decisions on who to back here, but we’ve had slightly higher levels of sellers indicating more customers think the game will end in a draw or Swansea defeat.

After two low-scoring affairs yesterday, Spreadex clients are anticipating a bit more action tonight and we’ve seen buyers of Total Goals on a spread of 2.25 – 2.45, Corners on a price of 9.5 – 10 and also Corners Squared on a spread of 104 – 115.

Headed Goal Minutes (aggregate of all headed goals in the game) on a price of 17 – 20 are also proving popular and Watford front pair Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo have seen plenty of buying action on their Goal Minutes and Super Mega Goal Minutes quotes.

As for whether Guidolin can guide Swansea to safety, the Spreadex Premier League Points Predictions now have the Swans in for between 36.5 – 38 come the end of the season, and our traders don’t think that will be enough to save the Swans from falling back down to the Championship come May.
