Newtown have traveled here for an interesting fight against the hosts The New Saints. Prepare for the match with this Premier League preview!

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Newtown have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-0-9 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.

The New Saints form and stats

Perfect Premier League season at home so far for The New Saints, who have the most scored goals (21) in Premier League, 2 wins from 2 appearances.

The Saints supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Flint Town United in Premier League and win 10-0. 2-2 away at Bala Town before that.

As mentioned above, Saints "killed" Flint Town United in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. G. Draper was absolutely essential when Saints beat Flint Town United 10-0, scoring five goals.

The manager S. Ruscoe will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Penybont in only four days.

Early season league goal statistics from The New Saints's 2 home games: 12 goals, 0 conceded.

Newtown form and stats

The Premier League season is young and Newtown have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.

Newtown lost away at Penybont (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Prior to that match, a home win 4-1 against Cefn Druids.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Barry Town United in just four days.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Newtown have scored 3 goals in 3 league games away. Newtown have conceded 5 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: The New Saints won seven, Newtown won two and one draw. eight games with over 2,5 goals, two matches with two goals or less.
