We bring you action from the Welsh Premier League also on Monday night with the fixture between The New Saints and Cefn Druids as the betting tips continue at the Park Hall Stadium.
TNS Prediction – Can TNS bounce back at home?
Cymru Premier league leaders, The New Saints, are currently locked in battle with 2nd placed Connah’s Quay for the top position of the domestic top flight, but TNS are in sublime form right now as Monday night’s hosts have won 6 of their last 7 matches overall.
TNS’s only blemish in an otherwise excellent spell of form was a surprise 2-1 defeat to 8th placed Cardiff MU, but the hosts bounced back in dramatic fashion by beating Monday night’s opponents, Cefn Druids, 5-0 away from home.
The two clubs clash again on Monday night but this time at the Park Hall Stadium where TNS possess a home record of 7-0-2 16/7 which includes a recent 4-match winning streak with wins against Airbus UK, Bala Town, Aberystwyth Town and Carmarthen Town, prior to their loss to Cardiff MU last time out on home turf.
TNS will be supremely confident that they can return to winning ways at home this evening though as they have absolutely dominated Cefn Druids in previous exchanges; TNS have won 17 of the last 19 meetings against their visitors (the other two results being draws!)
Cefn Druids Prediction – Can Cefn Druids change history?
It must be a feeling of deja-vu for Cefn Druids as they prepare for their trip to Oswestry to take on the Cymru Premier leaders, TNS, who they’ve met on numerous occasions and have also been on the end of regular defeats to their hosts too on numerous occasions.
Nevertheless, Cefn Druids have enjoyed a reasonable campaign to date in the Cymru Premier as the visitors currently occupy 6th place and the last position of the Championship Round stage which will start after the regular season has been done and dusted.
5 of Cefn Druids’ 8 league wins to date have been achieved at their Rhosymedre Stadium although they found themselves on the end of a 5-0 thrashing last time out on home turf to tonight’s opponents, TNS.
Overall results have been reasonable enough though as the visitors have picked up wins against Barry Town, Aberystwyth Town, Cardiff MU and Connah’s Quay, but away from home have produced an inconsistent set of results as their away record of 3-3-3 11/10 indicates.
The visitors will do well to even keep the scores close here though as 13 of their 17 defeats to TNS have seen the hosts win and over 2.5 goals scored as well.
Key-Facts – TNS vs Cefn Druids
- TNS have won 6 of their last 7 matches in the Cymru Premier
- 13 of Cefn Druids’ 17 defeats to TNS have seen the hosts win and over 2.5 goals scored
