Flint Town United form and stats

With 1 Premier League win, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Flint Town United are certainly not brimming with confidence.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Flint, who played 1-1 against Cardiff MU. That match was also played at this venue (University Stadium).

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Bala Town.

It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Flint Town United have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 6 games found in the database showing 5 Flint Town United wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

Trouble hitting the net? In this team's last 12 league games, 9 have produced less than three goals (under 2.5).

The New Saints form and stats

The New Saints have an excellent away record in the Premier League so far with 5-2-0 from 7 games.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. The New Saints goalkeeper is eager to challenge this, with his 270 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

The fans enjoyed Saints's previous fixture versus Aberystwyth Town (placed 9th), a 11-0 win played at home. As mentioned above, The New Saints was the only team on the pitch versus Aberystwyth Town in their previous game, winning 11-0. This could be a tougher task.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Penybont that ended 0-0.

Goal hungry football fans should note that 8 of this team's 10 most recent league matches have ended with three or more goals.

The New Saints are a potent attacking force on the road with their 19 goals in 7 league games. The Saints defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average ({1 goals} in 7 games).

Head 2 Head

The New Saints have avoided defeat in the last 7 games (6-1-0) facing Flint Town United.

It's not the first time these parties face each other this season, as the results database show this recent game: The New Saints - Flint 6-2.
