Swansea take on the visitors Southampton at “Liberty Stadium” in the matchday 31 of the English Premier League. The game will be played in Swansea on Tuesday, May 8th.
Swansea have been unable to win across eight clashes in a row since the 3rd of March, having earned three draws and five defeats during that period. The losing run of the “The Swans” counts for three tackles: 0:5 vs. Manchester City, 0:1 against Chelsea and 0:1 vs. Bournemouth. Moreover, the Welsh haven’t managed even to score for 289 minutes of football already. As a result, the club has dropped to the relegation zone, settling now on the 18th position in the Premier League standings with 33 points gained and 27-53 goal difference. Swansea have got 21 points with 16 goals for and 21 goals against in 17 home battles.

Meanwhile, Southampton haven’t failed in two back-to-back tackles, having deserved 2:1 victory over Bournemouth and 1:1 draw against Everton in them. Those points allowed Mark Hughes’s team to drift up to the 17th place in the elite division table where it is currently sitting with 33 points taken and 36-55 goal difference. “The Saints” show extremely weak performance on the road, having earned only 14 points with 16-30 goal difference in 18 fights conducted at away grounds.
As at this moment both sides have 33 point collected, thus, the upcoming clash will decide which of them will leave the Premier League. I expect for a tough battle with many cautions. Although the English referees don’t show yellow cards very often, I believe that the players won’t be very polite with their opponents in such survival tackles as the nerves will be definitely on edge.
Prediction for the match: Over 4 yellow cards.
