Data provided by

This weekend, Swansea City vs West Ham United predictions and betting tips headline the 3pm Championship fixtures in South Wales, with the league leaders hosting the division’s most prolific attack.

Swansea sit top of the table and extended their unbeaten run with a 1-0 win at Millwall last time out, boasting the best defensive record in the division. West Ham arrive third, fresh from a 6-0 thrashing of Lincoln and with the firepower of Jarrod Bowen.

Anthony Eadson sees the division’s meanest defence meeting its sharpest attack and expects a tight, goal-shared contest.

Premium Tips

Two Premium Tips for a heavyweight Championship clash between the leaders and the division’s top scorers.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Jarrod Bowen to score anytime7/4 (bet365)Jarrod Bowen has been in sparkling form for West Ham, leading their charge with six goals and five assists in 10 games as the Hammers have racked up a division-high 29 goals. The forward is the first name on the team sheet and the man Swansea will fear most. Even against the meanest defence in the Championship, Bowen’s movement and finishing make him a constant danger, and West Ham will create chances at the Swansea.com Stadium. At 7/4 the in-form attacker is a strong anytime scorer pick in a game the visitors should at least share.
Joseph Opoku to score anytime10/3 (Sky Bet)Joseph Opoku has chipped in with two goals for a Swansea side that has climbed to the top of the table on the back of the division’s best defence. The leaders are unbeaten at home and will back themselves to find the net against West Ham, even if the visitors carry the greater attacking reputation. Opoku offers Swansea pace and a goal threat from wide, and at 10/3 he is a generous price to score on his own patch. With Swansea likely to take at least a point in a tight game, backing one of their forwards to get on the scoresheet makes sense.

How Swansea City go into the game

Swansea top the table on 23 points, having won 1-0 at Millwall last time out to stretch their unbeaten run to four games. Before that they beat Burnley, Lincoln and Norwich.

The leaders boast the division’s best defence, conceding just seven goals, and are unbeaten at home with three wins from five. Adam Idah is their top scorer with four.

How West Ham United go into the game

West Ham arrive third on 19 points, having hammered Lincoln 6-0 last time out. Their attacking numbers are remarkable, with 29 goals in 10 games including two 6-0 wins, but they have drawn three of their five away games.
