Preview
Swansea and West Ham face at Swansea.com Stadium, in a match for the 17th round of the Premier League. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 1 win and 2 draws in the last 3 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 10‑01‑2015, in a match for the Premier League, they tied (1‑1). The goals of the match were scored by M. Noble (74' Own goal), for Swansea, and by A. Carroll (43' ), for West Ham. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since West Ham presents significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Swansea

The home team is currently in the 17th position of the league, with 14 points won, after 3 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Leicester City, by (0‑3). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Manchester City, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 19 conceded. For the league, Swansea won 9 points out of 24 possible points, after 2 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in the last 8 home matches.

They haven’t won any of the last 6 home matches for this competition. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 3 of the last 16 matches for the Premier League, they have reached half‑time in front in all of those 3 matches and have held on to the lead in 1. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 12 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Swansea comes to this match after a 2-1away loss, against Manchester City. The greatest weakness of the team is defensive set pieces. Swansea usually creates a few goal opportunities, but they lack offensive efficiency and don’t score that many goals. Their defence is solid, so they don’t often allow the opponent to turn the score around. They have got a very offensive winger, Naughton, so they like to use the right wing to attack. In this match the away coach will not be able to count on Shelvey and Éder, who are recovering from injuries.

Confirmed Lineup: Leon Britton, Łukasz Fabiański, Àngel Rangel, Neil Taylor, Federico Fernández, Ashley Williams, Jack Cork, Ki Sung-Yeung, Gylfi Sigurðsson, André Ayew, Bafetimbi Gomis.

Analysis West Ham

The away team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with 24 points won, after 6 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Manchester United, by (0‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Stoke City, by (0‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 18 conceded. In the last 8 away league matches West Ham has a record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 14 points out of 24 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 11 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 13 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

West Ham comes to this match after a goalless home draw against Stoke City. They have done well so far in the league, but they have a few important absences in this match, such as Reid, Moses, Lanzini, Sahko and Payet. The away team is usually very aggressive in defence and fast in offensive transitions, with Noble playing an important role in these counterattack moves. Striker Andy Carroll is the greatest offensive reference of the away team.

Confirmed Lineup: Adrián, James Tomkins, Aaron Cresswell, James Collins, Angelo Ogbonna, Alex Song, Michail Antonio, Cheikhou Kouyaté, Mark Noble, Nikica Jelavić, Mauro Zárate.
