Swansea vs Bristol City Prediction 1: Draw
We kick off our predictions for this game with a draw tip. Swansea have lost four of their last five games whilst drawing the other one. Bristol City meanwhile aren't exactly a winning machine; they've lost three of their last five games with a draw and a win finishing off their form guide. As for the head to head record, each of the last three meetings between these sides have ended in a share of the spoils.
Swansea vs Bristol City Prediction 2: Both teams will score
The second of our football betting tips for this game comes from the both teams to score market and we're opting for the ‘yes' option. Bristol City's form doesn't support such as tip with none of their last five games featuring goals at both ends, however, Swansea's form and the head to head record make the ‘yes' bet look the best value bet. Swansea have seen four of their last five games end with both teams scoring whilst each of the last four head to head games have seen both sides bag goals.

So, that gives you some insight to how the different bookmakers see the action unfolding. How though do the Swansea vs Bristol City odds translate into probability ahead of this game? Let's find out.
Swansea odds: 7/6 (2.17) – 46%
Draw odds: 12/5 (3.40) – 29%
Bristol City odds: 12/5 (3.40) – 29%
Swansea arrive into this match as significant favourites in the eyes of the bookmakers. That's likely to see a fair bit of money land on the draw and away win options given the lack of form Swansea have shown in recent weeks. With the match pretty tough to call, punters could also turn to the double chance market to spread their options. Given the match result odds detailed above, the double chance odds are not as horrifically poor as they sometimes can be!
Check out the predicted lineups ahead of Swansea vs Bristol City
Swansea
Swansea have got a few players unavailable for this match that impacts their options for squad rotation with Joel Latibeaudiere and Jay Fulton suspended and Joe Allen and Steven Benda out injured. That being said, it is unlikely that Swansea go with a fully unchanged lineup from their last match. Morgan Whittaker is probably the most likely candidate to get promoted from the subs bench.
Predicted lineup – Fisher, Manning, Wood, Cabango, Darling, Ntcham, Grimes, Cundle, Whittaker, Walsh, Piroe
Bristol City
Bristol City aren't in a great run of form but, like their hosts, they don't have loads of scope to freshen up their team owing to quite the injury crisis. The Robins currently have seven players sidelined with Matty James and Tomas Kalas notable names amongst those unavailable. As for the XI that is likely to start here, we're expecting them to opt for the same side that beat Blackpool. That will see them lineup in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Predicted lineup – O'Leary, Tanner, Vyner, Pring, DaSilva, Scott, King, Sykes, Weimann, Mehmeti, Wells

Player to watch
As we've touched on, neither of these sides arrive here in particularly good form and that means this match is likely to be decided by whichever side produces the most moments of magic. For that reason, we're backing Joel Piroe to shine brightest. Swansea's 23-year-old attacker has scored in two of his last four matches and boasts a league goal tally of 13. It makes him the most prolific player across the respective two squads.
