Manchester United vs Swansea: Preview and Predictions

Manchester United vs Swansea
English Premier League
Date: Sunday, 30th April 2017
Kick off at 12:00 UK/ 13:00 CET
Venue: Old Trafford.

Swansea travels to Old Trafford in hope of getting vital points for their survival. United though won’t be giving any presents as they also need the points in the battle for top 4.

Manchester United some into the game in an outstanding form. They had tough times against Anderlecht but in the end, they made it to the semifinal in the Europa League. In the Premier League. The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last 24 games. The defensive line is looking good with 4 clean sheets in the last games but goals come somewhat hard. But they are not creating and scoring as much as they would like.

The Red Devils have many problems in their squad selection. Mourinho will have to deal without Smalling, Jones, Mata, Rojo and Fellaini who is suspended. And the most important will be Zlatan. Pogba also has some slight problems and may not be ready for 90min.

Swansea are not in a position they would like to be in. The Swans are 2 points away from safety and in a terrible form especially on the road. Last game they picked vital 3 points at home against Stoke with 2-0 to keep their chances alive. That was their first win in 7 games and now the team travels to Manchester.

On the road things are looking much worse for Swansea. They accumulated 6 straight defeats. The team is playing decently well at the back but with only 3 goals scored in this period the attack should be better. 4 of those games were lost by a single goal margin.

Manchester United vs Swansea: Head to head

• United have a slight edge in the last 10 games. The Red Devils have 5 wins, Swansea has 4.

• Last game Man United won 3-1 away.

• At Old Trafford Manchester have 3 wins and 2 defeats.

• 9 of those 10 games finished with both teams scoring.

Manchester United vs Swansea: Prediction

Mourinho will try to win this game efficiently. The team has many problems in the squad selection and fights on 2 fronts. They cannot afford a slip up here and will try to win the game without risking any more injuries and tiring further the squad. United should get the points without much effort as Swansea are just terrible away.
