Betting tips for Swansea vs Tottenham - 17.03.2018

The Swans host Tottenham in the Liberty Stadium in one of the FA Cup 17-18 quarterfinals. The Swansea has climbed to 14th position since the arrival of Portuguese coach Carlos Carvalhal, leaving the relegation zone to 4 points. The Welsh team has scored 11 of the last 18 possible points, although in the last three games only achieved the victory on one occasion (4-1 at Liberty Stadium against West Ham), falling in Brighton (4-1) and in Huddersfield (0-0) last weekend.

In this FA Cup, Swansea has not had anything easy, having to play a replay match in each of the three rounds he has played. First, he could not go from a goalless draw to the leader of the Championship, Nuno Espirito Santo's Wolverhampton, to those who won 2-1 in Wales. Against the modest Notts County, they did not go from a draw to 1 as visitors, but they made up for an 8-1 at home. Already in the previous round, Carvalhal took his particular revenge against his former team, Sheffield Wednesday, with which they drew as visitors (0-0) to win at home 2-0.

Carvalhal has 10 key casualties for this game (Renato, Leroy Fer, Bony, Bitton, Rangel and Jordan Ayew), apart from the signings of the winter market André Ayew and Andy King, who had already participated in this tournament with their previous teams.

Tottenham is going through a bad time this season. Not only was he eliminated at home against Juventus in the last 16 of the Champions League, but he also lost his big star, Harry Kane, in the last match played.

The London team is 3rd in the Premier League, in which they have 61 points (18 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses) in the 30 matches they have played, always protected by the extraordinary goalscorer performance of Harry Kane, who reached the Crystal Palace his goal 150 as a professional (132 with the shirt of the Spurs).

Fully involved in the fight for one of the Champions League squares, the Spurs dream of reaching far in this competition, in which they have not been able to win as a visitor. In the 3rd round, the team beat Wimbledon 3-0, resolving the next two rounds at Wembley after needing a replay against Newport County (1-1 outside, 2-0 in London) and Rochdale (2-2 out; 6-1 in London, with hattrick Fernando Llorente). After the European elimination, the fact is that Pochettino's team is missing the atmosphere that was created in White Hart Lane. The new stadium is still under construction and Wembley, although the numbers are very good against smaller teams, have improved as the season progressed, it does not become the boiler in which the fans of the Spurs converted their old feud.

Kane and Alderweireld are injured.
