The first of two encounters in the Europa Conference League 1st Qualifying Round, as the hometeam HB will try to edge Newtown in their own ballpark.
3-0-4 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Newtown when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those seven matches are 7-12 (scored/conceded).
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
