Swansea v Southampton Preview and Prediction

On Tuesday night, relegation rivals Swansea and Southampton go head-to-head at the Liberty Stadium in a game that could prove crucial in the Premier League relegation battle.

There is only goal difference separating the 18^th place home side from the 17^th place visitors in the table, with just two games remaining this game could decide both teams fate.

The home side’s recent form in the Premier League has hampered their chances of survival. In fact, the Swans have failed to win in their last seven league outings, while suffering three straight defeats in the top-flight.

Scoring goals have been a major problem for the Welsh side, as no team has scored fewer goals than Carlos Carvalhal’s side in the top-flight this season.

Southampton are only above the Swans courtesy of a superior goal difference of seven. The Saints are unbeaten in their last three outings in the top-flight, recording one win and drawing twice. However, Mark Hughes side have won just once in their last ten outings in the top-flight.
