English Premier
2012-08-25 - Swansea vs West Ham United
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Match Preview :
Swansea does not seem to be missing Brendan Rodgers too much as new manager Brian Laudrup has started well with a win on opening day of the Premiership. The Danish coach has been busy in the transfer market and his contacts in Spain have worked wonders for Swansea.
On the other hand West Ham under Sam Allardyce takes his newly promoted side to the Premiership and they managed three points against Aston Villa in their opening match.
West Ham have two players, Carlton Cole and Kevin Nolan, who can cause opposition problems. And the addition of Matt Jarvis, who completed his £10.75million deal from Wolves on Friday, should give West Ham the crosses they need for their strikers to find the net.

Swansea Team News :
New arrival Chico Flores is a fitness doubt and will have a late test before a decision is made if he is to miss this match. Kyle Bartley, may be brought in to replace Chico but experienced duo Alan Tate and Garry Monk could also start this match.
Club record signing Ki Sung-Yueng will not be included in the squad but Manchester City target Scott Sinclair is set to feature once again.
West Ham Team News :
Sam Allardyce has new signings he can bring in here if he wishes to do so. Summer arrivals Alou Diarra and Modibo Maiga have not had a full pre-season and are likely to start from the bench.
But Jarvis played the full 90 minutes for Wolves on Tuesday against Barnsley and his record deal was done in time for the winger to be able to sgtart this match. However, Jack Collison remains unavailable due to a knee injury.
Predictions :
Take Swansea to get the win here but by a slim margin.
