Swansea City's Wilfried Bony confident of Valencia win

By Alex Meyers, Reporter | 25 November 2013

Wilfried Bony says that Swansea City will have to be at their best to beat Valencia in their Europa League Group A match this week.

Swansea City striker Wilfried Bony has said that the club are confident of beating Valencia in their Europa League Group A match.

The Swans defeated their Spanish opponents 3-0 in their previous meeting and will make it through to the knockout stages with victory this week at the Liberty Stadium.

"Why can't we do it again? We play at home and we need to qualify - we have to do our best to get into the next round," he told the club's official website.

"It was really good to score in Valencia – it was one of my best moments for Swansea so far. For us, it's important to win. We play at home and it is not easy because they are top of the group.

"We could have been there (in the knockout stages), but we drew two times against Kuban Krasnodar. The Europa League is a competition that I like. For me it's very important to try to score every game. That's what it's like for strikers."

Bony has scored 10 goals in 19 games this season for the club since joining from Vitesse Arnhem in the summer.
