Swansea will host Arsenal at their home ground on the upcoming Saturday. Both teams have maximum motivation regarding the forthcoming game. The Swans are fighting hard to survive in the EPL, while the Gunners are still hoping to get the championship title in the elite English league.
Within the last five EPL matches, Swansea managed to win only once: on 3rd of January, the Swans were stronger than Crystal Palace in an away game, beating the competitor with score of 2:1. Apart from that, there were defeats against Middlesbrough, West Ham, Bournemouth and Hull City in the English Cup. After 20 played matches in the elite English league, the Swans have 15 points in the asset and the 19th place in the tournament table. There is only one-pint handicap to the saving 17th place, on which Crystal Palace are situated.
Arsenal performed well in the Christmas period. Out of three games, the Gunners were stronger twice: won against West Bromwich 1:0 and against Crystal Palace 2:0, there was also an away draw with Bournemouth 3:3, in which Arsenal had been losing 0:3 against the Cherries. Within the English Cup, Arsenal had a match with Preston, in which they beat their competitor with the score of 2:1 not without some troubles. After 20 played rounds, Arsen Wenger’s team has 41 points in the asset and the fifth place in the EPL’s tournament table.
Arsenal perform worse in away matches, than at Emirates, but Swansea are one of the weakest teams in the EPL by the level of football, that is why the Gunners are going to Wales to get three points, which they will probably gain.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win.
