Opta Stats: Swansea v Southampton

20Apr 2013

England - Premier League

 

With Southampton having got themselves out of a relegation dogfight, they can now go level on points with Swansea with an away victory. Opta are on hand to analyse the stats.

 

Southampton have won just one of their last six league meetings with Swansea (L3 D2), with this victory coming back in March 1983. Swansea are 2.4 to win.

 

The last six goals that Swansea City have scored in the Barclays Premier League have come from either Michu (3) or Luke Moore (3). Michu is 2.22 to score, with Moore at 3.15.

 

Jay Rodriguez has scored in three successive Premier League starts for Southampton. Rodriguez is 3.15 to score again.

 

Southampton are unbeaten in five Premier League games (W3 D2), only Everton (6) are on a longer unbeaten run currently. The Saints can be backed at 2.3 in the draw no bet market.

 

Swansea have scored 43 goals this season; just one away from their total Premier League tally from 2011-12 (44) after 38 games. They are 1.18 to score a goal.

 

The Swans have gone four Premier League games without a win (D1 L3). Should they lose this game, it'll equal their longest run without a Premier League victory (five matches). You can lay Swansea at 2.42.

 

Swansea are one of only two teams (with Fulham) yet to win a game having conceded the first goal this season (15 games; D5 L10). Southampton are 5.8 to win half-time/full-time.

 

Southampton, on the other hand, have lost a joint-high four games having scored the first goal (losing a league-high 24 points in total). The double result of Southampton half-time/Swansea full-time is available at 34.0.

 

Michu has scored a higher percentage of his team's goals than any other player in the Premier League (39%). The Spaniard is 5.7 to score the first goal.
