This could be an interesting match as Cefn Druids have their presumed home advantage while The New Saints are ahead 10 points in the Premier League table.
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.
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 (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 24-4-9 (win-draw-loss) from 37 matches.
Cefn Druids are battling for top spots and have everything to play for. The New Saints are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
