Swansea set for rare away win at the Hawthorns

Swansea set for rare away win at the Hawthorns

On Saturday afternoon, relegation-threatened Swansea travel to rock bottom West Brom in the Premier League.

West Brom are currently ten points away from safety after eight consecutive Premier League defeats. A 2-1 home defeat by Burnley last time out saw boss Alan Pardew leave the club, with Darren Moore taking temporary charge for the rest of the season.

The Baggies recent Premier League outings have been goal-filled, with over 2.5 goals scored in nine of their last ten outings in all competitions. A big contributing factor to those recent high scoring games is that the Baggies have conceded at least two goals in nine of their last ten outings.

The home side has won just one of their last 15 home games in the Premier League while suffering defeat in their last four league games at the Hawthorns. The side from the Midlands has also conceded at least two goals in their last four home games in the Premier League.

Swansea are just three points clear of the relegation zone after a recent inconsistent run of form in the top-flight. However, a 2-0 defeat at Manchester United last time out in the Premier League was only their second loss in nine league outings, so they are difficult to beat.

A major factor in the Swans current perilous league position is their away record this season. The Welsh side has won just one of their last 14 games on the road in the Premier League.

Carlos Carvalhal’s team have picked up three draws and a win from their last six away games in the top-flight, though. The visitor’s recent away games in the league have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five away games.

Forebet predicts that the visitor’s dire away record will improve in this game and the Swans will record a crucial victory in a low scoring encounter.
