Swansea entertain Newcastle

Both teams are enjoying fantastic seasons. Adam Bate is not expecting a repeat of the 0-0 draw between these sides earlier in the campaign and is tipping goals instead.Two of the Premier League’s surprise packages of the season meet at the Liberty Stadium on Good Friday when Swansea host Newcastle.The Swans’ home advantage makes them favourites for this one but Brendan Rodgers’ men have produced a mixed bag of results in recent weeks.Four wins and four losses in the last eight make Swansea a difficult team to predict, but if you think they are due a win they can be backed at 23/17 (2.35) with 188Bet.Newcastle’s away form has been similarly up and down, having won three and lost four on their travels since Christmas.Alan Pardew will be aware of the need to be winning this sort of fixture if his team are to stand any chance of pulling off an unlikely bid for a Champions League spot.Newcastle are slight underdogs at 7/4 (2.75) with 188Bet and the draw is available at 11/5 (3.2).In the goalscorer markets, the bookmakers finally seem to be recognising that Papiss Cisse, and not Demba Ba, is now the main man on Tyneside.The Senegal striker has five goals in his last three games and is 9/2 (5.5) to net first here.For Swansea, attacking midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson has been a revelation of late. The on-loan Icelandic international is 11/2 (6.5) to open the scoring in this one and that could carry some appeal.In the other markets, you may be swayed by the fact that the reverse fixture finished 0-0 and a repeat of that scoreline is available at 17/2 (9.5) with 188Bet.However, Swansea have netted in 11 of their last 14, while conceding in 10 of them.Meanwhile, Newcastle have scored in all but one of their last 15 and conceded in nine of those games.As a result, both teams could be in the goals here and backing over 2.5 goals at 12/11 (2.09) could provide a tidy return.For the value bet, back Cisse to come good once more and get the scoring started in this one.
