EPL Week 7 Picks: Swansea City vs Newcastle Betting Odds

This Saturday Swansea City is hosting Newcastle United at the Liberty Stadium for the sixth match of the Premier League season.

Swansea has had an extremely successful start to the season, they are currently fifth in the league with 10 points having won 3 games, drawn 1 and lost two. They are tied for points with fourth place Arsenal and sixth place Aston Villa.

Things have not been going as well for Newcastle. They are one from last in the league with just three points having drawn 2 games and lost 3. They are tied for points with bottom placed Burnley FC.

The teams last played in April this year when Swansea won 2 -1. The last time Newcastle beat Swansea was in June 2012 when they won 2 – 0. However, Swansea will be without Angel Rangel as he is suspended for this week’s match.

Nonetheless, the bookies favour Swansea to win with odds of 5/6 on a win compared to Newcastle’s 3/1. A draw is considered slightly more likely than a Newcastle victory with odds of 12/5 available. Most bookies think that Swansea will win 1 – 0 with odds of 13/2 available.
