Swansea hosts Manchester City in the English FA Cup 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 10th at Liberty Stadium (Swansea)
Swansea is mainly focused on the fight for a return to the Premier League. The Swans have already played in the elite British football division. And they did it successfully, especially in comparison with another Welsh project, Cardiff City. But after relegation, Swansea was stuck in a weaker division for a very long time. Real hopes to return have appeared now. In the previous season, the Swans were 6th but lost to Brentford in the playoffs. And now they are fighting with the Bees and Norwich for one of the direct tickets to the Premier League. The Welsh have not lost since mid-December (eight victories and two draws). In the FA Cup, Swansea managed to knock out not only Stevenage but also Nottingham Forest.

Manchester City failed last season. But now this team can win all the trophies in Albion. The Citizens are in 1st place in the Premier League standings. Beyond that, they have already managed to break into the League Cup final - in the spring, they will play the decisive match with Tottenham of Jose Mourinho. In the FA Cup, the grandee, as often happens to it, was lucky so far. Manchester City started with a voyage to Birmingham and eliminated Cheltenham from League 2 in the last round (for comparison: Manchester United played against Liverpool). However, this month will be more difficult for Pep Guardiola. Only on Wednesday, his charges met with Liverpool at Anfield. And on January 13, they will have to play against Tottenham. It is quite possible that the Catalan manager will try to beat the team from the Championship on the cheap. Fortunately, Manchester City has a big roster now.
All that Swansea has managed to gain in the last 12 head-to-head meetings was a draw back in 2016. Truth be told, in the year before last, the Welsh were outscoring 2-0 at home, and the Citizens gained a comeback victory only at the end of the match. Now Swansea is unlikely to work like dogs, realizing that it is more important to succeed in the Championship. We recommend betting on the visitors’ victory with a -1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -1.5 handicap
