Swansea City missed a big chance to claim a huge win in their attempts to stave off relegation when they were unable to beat Middlesbrough at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday. It’s now 1 win in 5 for Swansea who look to be drifting into some poor form at just the wrong time.
Tottenham Hotspur have won 4 Premier League games in succession, reducing the gap on leaders Chelsea to 7 points, though their late rally looks to have come too late to mount a serious challenge to the champions elect. Pochettino’s side have lost just twice in 20 games in all competitions.
Spurs have won 6 and drawn 1 of their last 7 meetings with Swansea City and in the reverse fixture between the two this season, Tottenham thumped 5 past a hapless Swansea defence. The Swans have conceded an average of 2 goals a game at home this season and no team has conceded more goals in the Premier League in 2016/17 (63).
Even without the injured Harry Kane, Tottenham Hotspur are still huge favourites to come away from Wales with another 3 points. Swansea are in real danger of dropping in to the Championship and might well try to save some energy for more winnable games. I expect Spurs to enjoy a comfortable night at the Liberty Stadium on Wednesday night. Read our Swansea City v Tottenham betting tips below.
Tottenham Hotspur have the best defensive record in the Premier League this season, so backing them to win to nil against a struggling Swansea City side makes sense. At Bet365 you can get odds of 2/1 for that to happen. Unibet also have an interesting offer where you can get 9/10 odds on the away team (Spurs) to score first and then win the game. That looks a solid selection.
