Swansea City vs Cardiff City
Sunday 27th October 2019
The Championship, Liberty Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Football – Kick Off: 12:00 GMT

The South Wales derby is upon us for the first time since 2014. Swansea City host Cardiff City in Championship action early on Sunday.

Neither team is entering the match on good form. However, in a match of this magnitude and with so much pride and history on the line, form goes out the window. Swansea are only four points ahead of their South Wales counterparts and this is sure to be one entertaining encounter.

Swansea City are priced at 5/4 to win the match by SkyBet. Steve Cooper’s side are undergoing some poor form, especially at home, after their explosive start to the Championship season. They have won just one match in seven – not ideal heading into their derby. Going forward, striker Borja Baston – much like his team – has gone stale but winger Andre Ayew has popped up with some important goals at times. The Ghanaian is 12/5 to score anytime.

The Swans have failed to keep a clean sheet in six matches. They are price boosted to 7/2 to win and for both teams to score.

Cardiff City are priced at 2/1 to get a huge win away from home. The visitors eter this match in slightly better form than their opponents. Neil Warnock’s men have drawn their previous two outings and have showcased they are capable of scoring goals. Danny Ward got on the score sheet last time out against Millwall and is priced at 11/2 to open the scoring.

The referee for this match will be Robert Jones. The official will be preparing for a very feisty match-up and has averaged 34 booking points per match this season. SkyBet are offering 50+ booking points at 11/10 – fantastic odds.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 12:00 GMT.

Prediction: Swansea City 1-1 Cardiff City

– This match is going to be tight and tense. Really tough to pick a winner from the two out of form Welsh sides.

Southampton vs Leicester City
Friday 25th October 2019
FA Premier League, St Mary’s Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Main Event – Kick Off: 20:00 BST

Southampton will play host to high-flying Leicester City in Premier League action this Friday night.

The Saints have endured a pretty poor start to their league campaign and sit 17^th in the standings. From nine matches, they have just eight points. Meanwhile, Leicester City have been the polar opposite with 17 points and are currently 3^rd in the league. They are making a real statement of intent for Champions League qualification.

Southampton are priced at 2/1 to win the match by SkyBet. In their previous outing, the hosts managed a 1-1 draw with Wolves away from home – with VAR stealing the headlines. They are struggling for much attacking prowess and have averaged one goal a game so far. Danny Ings scored last weekend and has been a threat since the start of the season and could have scored more than his four goals. He is 6/4 to score anytime.

If the Saints can pull off an impressive victory, it will still be likely their visitors will find the back of the net. Southampton are 9/2 to win and both teams to score.

Leicester City are priced at a very tempting 13/10 to win on Friday night. The Foxes have been in inspired form this season under Brendan Rodgers. They have an extremely balanced squad and striker Jamie Vardy is showing age is just a number. The retired international has six Premier League goals so far and is price boosted to 7/1 to score a brace.

Three of the Foxes four previous victories have all come as a 2-1 score line. This demonstrates their character to get results over the line, even if the performance has not been perfect. SkyBet are offering 17/2 for the same score line in the visitor’s favour.

The referee for this match will be Andre Marriner. The official has been one of the most lenient in the top-flight this season. He has averaged just 22 booking points per match. SkyBet are offering 6/4 for Under 30 booking points.

Southampton vs Leicester City will kick-off live on Sky Sports Main Event at 20:00 BST in the UK .
