Aberystwyth Town hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 17 points and a 9th position in the Premier League table. Visiting Newtown holds 7th place with 28 pts.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Newtown 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 3-0-6 (win-draw-loss) from nine matches.
For Aberystwyth Town relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Newtown are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
