Odds: Swansea (8/11) Draw (11/4) Hull (9/2)Gamingtips Prediction – Swansea 3:1 Hull
Swansea will most likely be without two of their most influential front men – Wilfried Bony is struggling with a hamstring injury while Miguel Michu is suffering with an ankle injury. Angel Rangel is also out for Swansea with a calf injury and is expected to return on Boxing Day. Hull City’s main injury worry is defender Paul McShane who is struggling with a hamstring injury. Hull have made a reasonable start to life in the Barclays Premier League winning 5 of their opening 14 fixtures. Hull’s main issue has been scoring goals – they have scored just 12 goals in their opening 14 games (17th worst goals scored record). Swansea come into this tie after an impressive 3:0 win over Newcastle and have lost just 1 of their last 4 (lost to Manchester City). On paper, Swansea should have enough quality to come out on top in this tie however Hull have shown they are a team to be reckoned with after wins against Liverpool (3:1) and Newcastle (3:2) so it wouldn’t be biggest upset if Hull are to get something from this game.
