Swansea v Hull City prediction - back Bersant Celina to get Steve Cooper's men off to a flier

It's all kicking off this weekend.

And if you're having a punt on Swansea's first fixture of The Championship season, you'd be well advised to have a quick read of our Pools punting preview.

We've asked our squad of first team writers, the men and women who know their teams best, to give us an insight into what we should be looking out for this weekend.

Ian Mitchelmore gives his rundown on Swansea's clash with Hull on the opening Saturday.

Win, lose or draw?

I fancy a home win. 2-1. Swansea haven't lost in the league on their own turf since Boxing Day, and the club will be desperate to start life under Steve Cooper with a bang.

thepools.com has that scoreline at a wallet-boosting 15/2

Who’s a good bet for 1st scorer?

Bersant Celina hit the goal trail in pre-season, and as arguably Swansea's most creative player, he could be the man to net against Hull.


Who’s on the naughty step?


Jake Bidwell has been known to like a challenge, and Swansea fans could get a sample of it if he makes his debut this weekend!


Who’s on pens?

Matt Grimes should be on spot-kick duty.

Will Swansea keep a clean sheet?

This fixture was 2-2 back in April and 3-2 to Hull in December. I can see goals. Both teams to score is a solid 3/4 shot with thepools.com
