Swansea and Bournemouth will square off at Liberty Stadium as Premier League resumes after the International break, with both sides in big need of points.
The hosts haven`t been particularly good lately, losing 3 of the last 4 matches in the league and generally playing underwhelming football. Swansea wasn`t able to create much danger up front and their only recent victory came against the dirt poor Aston Villa, a 2-1 win three rounds ago. The Swans know they can do better than this and will feel confident of picking up their offensive game against one of the worst sides in the league today.
If Swansea is struggling, Bournemouth is in an even more desperate situation. The visitors have now lost 4 consecutive matches in the Premier League and 5 in all competitions, failing to score in the last three after previously taking two heavy 5-1 beatings. Bournemouth is currently sitting on the 18th place and the Premier League newcomers look like relegation favorites right now. The fact that they struggle with injuries in a not so deep squad is not helping them either.

Team news & lineups:
Swansea has a full squad available, while Bournemouth misses Gradel, Elphick, Mings, and Wilson, while Pugh and Atsu are highly questionable.
Swansea: Fabianski – Naughton, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor – Ki, Shelvey – Ayew, Sigurdsson, Montero – Gomis
Bournemouth: Federici – Smith, Francis, Distin, Daniels – Ritchie, Gosling, Surman, Arter, Stanislas – King
Leaving aside the quality difference, Bournemouth is a very poor side on the road, losing 5 out of 6 this term and traveling to Wales for this one will be a really big challenge. Despite Swansea not playing that great in the past month, they have a very good team and should be able to do the job at home against this weak Bournemouth team. Hopefully the International break also allowed Swansea to get their act together.
Expect a low scoring but confident win for Swansea, as Bournemouth should not represent any threat on the offensive end. The under also looks good, but looking at the team news and lineups status, Swansea might take advantage and win big if they increase their level of football. My tip is a Swansea win. Prediction: Swansea City – Bournemouth 1-0.
