Newcastle United goes into this match knowing that they have to win this match as every match is like a final to them in their survival battle. Their opponent is Swansea who is 13th in the standings and they have managed two wins and one draw so they have a gap of at least 13 points over the teams in the relegation zone. Swansea does have a positive series of six wins and one draw in their head to head. When they met in August of last year they beat Newcastle by 2-0.
The Magpies goes into this match knowing that they need to win and they have to forget their poor record against the side from Wales. Failure to get three points and a win here would mean they are likely to be relegated then. They are in poor form as they managed six defeats and one draw in their last seven matches so now they really have to battled against survival in their last six matches starting with this one.
The Magpies brought in Rafa Benitez in order to save them but to date the only points he has managed is at home against Sunderland when they managed to win that match. They were beaten in their other three matches against the likes of Leicester, Norwich and Southampton. So now they have six points less then Norwich in 17th spot, even though they have one match less. This means it is crucial that they get the win now against Swansea in this match.
As for the team news, they will be without the likes of goalkeepers Krul and Elliot, and defenders Coloccini and Haidar due to injuries while the likes of Janmaat and Taylor who plays as defenders are also out due to injuries.
Meanwhile, for Swansea, their last few matches which they have managed two wins and a draw have secured their survival in the Premier League so that means they can play this match without much pressure. They managed to get wins over Aston Villa and Chelsea at home when they managed 1-0 wins. Then away from home they drew with Stoke 2-2 away. This means that they have one match more played and have a difference of 13 points over Sunderland in 18th spot.
So now they head into this match without any problems in the last five rounds. Still it does not mean that they will not play their best in the last remaining five matches. Swansea play against teams who need the points more then them here it has to be said so they can still play a counter attacking game. As for the team news, only one player will miss this match and that is the likes of midfielder Britton.
Go for Newcastle United to get the win here as they need the points more then Swansea and with this match being Asian Handicap level, go for the home side not to lose here.
