Swansea City take on the visitors West Ham United in the round 18 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, December 26th at Liberty Stadium (Swansea).
The Swans have big problems with their defensive line as the team allowed 15 goals in their recent 15 matches, averaging three conceded goals per match: 5-4 with Crystal Palace, 0-5 with Tottenham, 3-0 with Sunderland, 1-3 with West Bromwich and 0-3 with Middlesbrough. Of course, it’s hard to count on high places with such poor defensive line and the team is currently in relegation zone with 12 points gained in 17 matches. However, two recent home matches ended with Swansea wins and allowed to take eight points in eight matches at own turf.

West Ham, in turn, had a poor streak of seven matches without a win but managed to take two wins in a row over Burnley and Hull City, both 1-0. These six points allowed maintain handicap before relegation zone as the Hammers now have 19 points and sit on 13th position. The team is poor in away matches, taking only five points in eight games. However, two recent games on the road against The Red Devils and Liverpool ended with 1-1 and 2-2 draws respectively.
The hosts can’t count on their defensive line while offensive staff don’t always cover problems on own half. The Hammers, in turn, showed nice results in recent matches and they clearly should be counting on points in this away clash.
Prediction for the match: West Ham to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (X2).
