Game week two of the Premier League season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Bala Town - The New Saints preview:

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

This stadium uses grass, unlike The New Saints's home stadium. The visitors last 38 games on grass have ended in 23 wins, 4 draws and 11 losses.

Bala Town form and stats

Happy days for Bala Town in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Airbus UK that ended with a 2-1 victory. A strong away win before that one, visiting Newtown and winning 2-1.

There will be little rest for Bala Town after this match as they are travelling to Barry Town United for a Premier League game in only three days.

The New Saints form and stats

The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as The New Saints have lost on their last two travels.

The New Saints are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Premier League against Caernarfon Town. A loss against Ludogorets was the result prior to that, in a Europa League home game.

The schedule is very tough for The New Saints now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Aberystwyth Town is waiting in only three days.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 1 win for Bala Town, 2 draws and 7 wins for The New Saints. Over 2,5 goals: 8 times; under 2,5 goals: 2 games.
