Connah's Quay form and stats

This stadium, Deeside College Stadium, has been a fortress for Connah's Quay in the Premier League so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 8-1-0. Connah's has won so many consecutive home games (eight in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Deeside College Stadium. We remember; it was Bala Town. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of seven straight victories regardless of arena.

Connah's's last game was hosting Cardiff MU (placed 8th) and winning 3-1. Before that, Connah's Quay had a home game versus The New Saints which ended with a victory 2-0.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Connah's's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won one match, drawn zero and lost zero.

Connah's are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League match at Flint Town United awaits in three days.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (19 in 9 games), Connah's Quay's attacking play is working. From these home matches, Connah's have conceded only 5 goals.

Newtown, who have the fewest points (3) away in Premier League, have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 0-3-5 (8 played).

Newtown had fun at their own home (Deeside College Stadium) last time out, beating Penybont 2-0. T. Ofori and J. Evans scored. Before that, Newtown travelled to Caernarfon Town and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Newtown when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing zero and winning one game.

Newtown has another fixture away, a Premier League game, against Cefn Druids in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Newtown as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Newtown have conceded 13 goals on the road.
