Struggling Port Talbot Town will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Penybont in the upcoming league round. It’s 11th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Port Talbot Town have less rest than Penybont in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Welsh League Division 1 game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Afan Lido.

The away team, who have the fewest conceded goals (20) in Welsh League Division 1, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 7 wins, 3 draws and only 0 losses. Things are running smoothly for Penybont who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 16 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Barry Town United. Penybont are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.

It's the second away game in a row for Penybont, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Undy Athletic in the Welsh League Division 1 last time out. A draw for Penybont before that, at their own venue hosting Haverfordwest County (1-1).

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Penybont manager R. Griffiths as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Cwmbran Celtic.

With an average of more than two away goals per game, Penybont are regular goalscorers on their travels. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (7 so far).
