Club Friendly - Swansea v Den Haag

Las pre-season games for the bristish side , with both squads being promoted after last season play-offs.I was at Brighton stadium when Swansea fighted with them for the promotion spot and i was impresioned at that level by their rigurous tactics showed.

Dutch Eredivisie side ADO Den Haag are on a mini-tour to the UK and have based themselves in Swansea this week in preparation for the start of their season at the end of August.

There has been a strong relationship between the two clubs over the years; the Swans have toured their homeland in the past while supporters of Den Haag have often travelled over to south west Wales and taken in a Swansea City fixture.

This will be the second game of their visit following Saturday's victory over Bristol Rovers. Richard Knopper (2) and Hans van der Haar (penalty) were on target for André Wetzel's side at the Memorial Stadium where sounds of Swansea City chants could be heard from the direction of the away support.

Roberto could welcome back Leon Britton and Fede Bessone to the squad after they missed Saturday's stalemate against West Brom, but the virus that hit the club last week could rule Ashley Williams, Dennis Lawrence and Kristian O'Leary out of tonight's friendly clash.

Jason Scotland is likely to feature again after making the bench against the Baggies but Angel Rangel and Gorka Pintado will remain on the sidelines.

Den Haag are likely to include 22-year-old Christian Kum; the defender is one of four players on the reserve list for Holland's Olympic squad and has also been linked with a move to Arsenal's Champions League opponents, FC Twente.

In such a friendly athmosphere i think that we will have at final time a nice draw here with the host side pushing a little harder on the first half.
