SWANSEA – LIVERPOOL: Soccer prediction
The bad first leg has plunged the Swansea into last place, and it will be tough to face the most fit team in the Premier League championship to bring the salvation zone closer. Liverpool in the last round won 4-3 against Manchester City first in the standings and does not intend to stop his unstoppable march to the sound of goals.
The arrival of Van Dijk is not enough to make a defense waterproof that at least at home – apart from the challenge with Manchester City – is suffering a few goals. The departure of Coutinho has not weakened an attack that continues to mark the avalanche thanks to the excellent contributions of Salah, Firmino and Manè.
Liverpool have consistently over 2.5 in their last seven games, and in four of those, there have been at least four goals, including an Anfield win against Swansea in Boxing Day (5-0).
After that defeat, Swansea changed coach by hiring former Sheffield Wednesday Carlos Carvalhal, with which the results improved. In the last five games the team has made two wins, two draws and one loss, conceding only five goals against the twelve he had taken in the previous five games.
The Swansea will try to oppose resistance thanks to the new defensive organization, but when Liverpool manages to unlock the match and to be able to hit on the counterattack, it could arrive yet another goleada. For this reason, even tactical it is advisable to bet on the overtime in the second half.
Even the sign “over 2.5” in the second half has been a winner in four of Liverpool’s last six games and is also worth trying on this occasion for those who want a very high share.
