Burnley to Win
Burnley came out on the right side of a contest of slender margins when they beat Stoke 1-0 last time out and the league-leading Clarets are currently answering any questions posed to them as they attempt to secure promotion back to the Premier League as champions. In total, Burnley have won nine of their last ten fixtures in the second tier and that record is a compelling reason to side with them again when they visit an inconsistent Swansea outfit in Wales on Monday.
Under 2.5 Goals
Burnley have been rock-solid defensively this term and they will back themselves to keep Swansea at arm’s length for most of Monday’s game, however, the Swans don’t tend to concede many goals at home, indeed, they’ve shipped one or fewer times in three of their last four games at the Swansea.com Stadium. Just a single goal hit the net in Burnley’s last away test at Stoke and a similar outcome looks possible in Wales this week. As such, a stake on under 2.5 goals seems like a snug fit for your coupons.

Let's take a closer look at the latest markets and odds ahead of Monday’s showdown between Swansea and Burnley.
Swansea odds: 2/1 (3.0) – 33.33%
Draw odds: 47/20 (3.35) – 29.9%
Burnley odds: 67/50 (2.34) – 42.7%
Burnley have been priced as favourites to claim three points at Swansea’s expense on Monday, though like us, the bookies think margins could be wafer thin in Wales and under 2.5 goals is a shorter price than over @1/1 (2.0) – 50%. Jack Cork is an interesting 39/10 (4.9) – 20.4% to see yellow in Wales. The midfielder has already been booked a staggering nine times in the Championship for Burnley this term.
Swansea vs Burnley Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Monday’s Championship encounter between Swansea and Burnley below.
Swansea
Michael Obafemi is a slight doubt again for Swansea this week due to some concerns about his fitness, though Swans boss Russell Martin has few selection headaches beyond that. Swansea hammered Watford 4-0 in their last outing in what was arguably their most impressive all-round performances of the campaign so far.
Predicted Lineup for Swansea: Benda – Cabango, Darling, Wood-Godron – Sorinola, Grimes, Allen, Manning – Fulton, Cooper, Piroe
Burnley
Burnley have a clean bill of health again this week, giving Head Coach Vincent Kompany a slew of options to choose from all over the pitch ahead of Monday’s game. Burnley tightened their grip on top spot with their 1-0 win at Stoke and the Clarets are now three points clear of Sheffield United in second.
Predicted Lineup for Burnley: Muric – Roberts, Harwood-Bells, Beyer, Maatsen – Cork, Cullen, Manuel, Brownhill, Zaroury – Rodriguez
Player to Watch – Jay Rodriguez
Jay Rodriguez was named on the bench for Burnley at Stoke during the week, though he set up the winning goal when he replaced Ashely Barnes in the second half and he could get the nod to start on Monday as a result. The 33-year-old needs just one more goal to crack double figures for the campaign in the Championship.
