Southampton to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/6 @ Bet365<\/a>
(60.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nSouthampton have won four of the last eight meetings with Swansea and averaged 1.75 goals per game over that stretch. Their attack is the most balanced in the league (73 goals, 49 assists, 84% pass accuracy), while Swansea have struggled defensively (54 goals conceded).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(55.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nSix of Southampton’s last eight matches have featured at least three goals, and their offensive numbers (605 shots, 450 key passes) suggest a game open to scoring. Swansea are capable on their day, especially with Vipotnik’s threat and Tymon’s delivery from set pieces.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
