The season is still fairly new and the Premier League table has to be read with caution. So far Caernarfon Town find themselves in 5th position and The New Saints are placed 2nd.

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

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting The New Saints have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 24-5-10 (win-draw-loss) from 39 matches.
