Walton Casuals hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 9 points and a 15th position in the Non League Premier: Southern table. Visiting Merthyr Town holds 11th place with 10 pts.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Merthyr Town have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 0-0-1 (win-draw-loss) from one match.
