Swansea City vs Bournemouth Prediction and Betting Tips | August 29th 2023

Swansea City will host Bournemouth at the Swansea.com Stadium on Tuesday in the second round of the 2023-24 Carabao Cup campaign.

The home side have had a mixed start to life under new boss Michael Duff and currently find themselves deep in the bottom half of the Championship standings. They were beaten 2-1 by Preston North End in their last game and had held the lead at the break before conceding two second-half goals as they fell to a third consecutive defeat at Deepdale.

Swansea beat Northampton Town in the previous round of the domestic cup and will be looking to test their mettle against top-flight opposition on Tuesday.

Bournemouth have also had their struggles in their league assignments this season and will hope they can find better luck in the League Cup this week. They were beaten 2-0 by Tottenham Hotspur last time out and could have no real complaints about the result after failing to fashion any noteworthy chances to alter the result.

Swansea City vs Bournemouth Prediction

Swansea are on a three-game winless streak and have won just one of their last five competitive games. They are, however, undefeated in their last eight games at the Swansea.com Stadium and will be hopeful of a positive result this week.

Bournemouth are on a run of back-to-back defeats and have now lost six of their last seven competitive games. They are the stronger side ahead of the midweek clash and should come out on top here, albeit narrowly.
