With their 1 point advantage in the league table, Newtown fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Cardiff MU.
- Newtown have the most matches over the total-line (10) in Premier League
- Cardiff MU have the fewest scored goals (14) in Premier League
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Premier League match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Cefn Druids, so at least Newtown are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
12-7-21 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Cardiff MU when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 40 matches are 46-62 (scored/conceded).
Newtown form and stats
Newtown have collected 11 points from their Premier League home games so far after 3-2-3.
A good away victory last time out for Newtown, who won 4-2 against Cefn Druids (placed 12th). Prior to that, an away loss at Connah's Quay.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Newtown have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at G.F. Grigg Latham Park with 13 goals in 8 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
Cardiff MU form and stats
Cardiff MU, who have the fewest scored goals (14) in Premier League, have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 2-1-6 (9 played). It's all red in the travel logs of Cardiff, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team. With the Cardiff MU losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
There might be some fixture complaints from Cardiff MU as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Premier League match against Haverfordwest County (0-1). A 1-3 defeat away at Connah's Quay before that.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Cardiff's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 15 goals from these trips.
