Connah's Quay form and stats
6-1-0 is the performance here at Deeside College Stadium so far in the Premier League, giving Connah's Quay a total of 19 from their 7 games here. Outstanding results! The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of five straight victories regardless of arena. After failing to beat Bala Town here at Deeside College Stadium, Connah's Quay has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.
Connah's enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Aberystwyth Town's place. The match ended 3-1 with M. Wilde (2) and D. Davies scoring. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Flint Town United in a game that was won 2-0.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (14 in 7 games), Connah's's attacking play is working. Connah's are not conceding a lot of goals here at Deeside College Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 7 matches.
The New Saints form and stats
The New Saints, who have the most scored goals (43) in Premier League, have an excellent away record in the Premier League so far with 5-2-0 from 7 games. The fact that Saints have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Saints, as they have won on their previous two travels.
It's the second away game in a row for Saints, but there's smiles all around after the 4-0 victory versus Cefn Druids (placed 12th) in the Premier League last time out. Prior to that match, a home win 4-1 against Aberystwyth Town.
As you can tell from the results above, Saints was very dominant against Cefn Druids, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with B. Hudson and G. Draper (3) providing the goals. G. Draper certainly enjoyed Saints's last game versus Cefn Druids, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 4-0 victory.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Saints manager S. Ruscoe as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Newtown.
The New Saints are a potent attacking force on the road with their 19 goals in 7 league games. Saints are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 3 away goals have been conceded so far.
