Taff's Well form and stats

The supporters hope that Taff's will fight back in this match, putting things right after the 1-4 away loss in the Welsh Cup fixture against Hakin United.

Heartbreak before that as Taff's Well lost 1-3 at Barry Town United's place.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Taff's Well have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 4 games) they have won 1 time, drawn 2 and lost 1.

There will be little rest for Taff's after this match as they are travelling to Ynyshir Albions for a FAW Championship game in only four days.

Afan Lido form and stats

Afan Lido play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-0 victory visiting Carmarthen Town.

Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Ammanford in the FAW Championship.

We have checked recent matches where Afan have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 5 games were 2 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Afan Lido are hosting Goytre United in the FAW Championship only four days away.

Head 2 Head

Data for the former ten meetings involving these two squads are: five wins for Taff's, one draw and four wins for Afan Lido. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
