Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Colwyn Bay & Cardiff MU face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Welsh Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier League. That game was also an away game, at Barry Town United. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Cardiff MU have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 14-7-16 (win-draw-loss) from 37 matches.
