Liverpool vs Swansea Prediction 21 January 2017
On January 21 2017 at 12:30 in the opening game of the 22nd matchday of the English Premier League at the Anfield Stadium the local Liverpool play against Swansea.
Liverpool look really strong in the current season and are definitely in the race for the championship. The victory in the latest game against Manchester United 1:1 prolonged the lossless series of the team to make it 7 matches long. Before that the Reds lost points in the match against Sunderland 2:2, outplayed Manchester City 1:0, Stoke City 4:1 and Everton 0:1. As result, with 45 points gained Liverpool take the third position in the standings of the league with 49:24 goal difference.
As for Swansea, they had to face a lot of problems since the very start of the championship. They conceded 49 goals in 21 matches played and are now the team with the least reliable defense in the championship. They are also one of the most possible teams to be relegated at the end of the season. In the latest five games Swansea only gained 3 points of 15 possible in the match against Crystal Palace 1:2. In the rest of the games they lost to Middlesbrough 3:0, West Ham 1:4, Bournemouth 0:3 and Arsenal 0:4.
The statistics and the results of the latest games played between the teams show the advantage of Liverpool. In the first round game of the current season Liverpool won in the away match 1:2. Liverpool only lost once to Swansea at the Anfield Stadium and it happened in 2012 in the League Cup. We think that Liverpool will manage to get their three points in the upcoming game as they are in really good conditions and need to deal with Swansea if they want to stay in the race for the championship.
