Llanelli v Bangor 2.10 3.10 3.25 these odds from VC
League Champions Llanelli against 5th placed Bangor
Llanelli won the league with 85 points, 30 more than Bangor. Llanelli lost just three matches in the league this season , the final game away at TNS when the league was won and two matches at home to Porthmadog and Bangor. The match at Bangor was a 1-1 draw so in the league have performed well against Llanelli. The league fixtures were completed two weeks ago but Llanelli played in the League cup final last week , which they won 2-0 at the same venue as Sunday , Newtown.
Llanelli have qualified for the Champions league qualifiers which means that Bangor qualify for the
UEFA irrespective of the result of this final.
Bangor have won this cup whilst Llanelli have never won this competition which dates back to 1878.
The way Llanelli have played this season I would have expected an easy first win in this cup for them but they have numerous injury problems. The biggest miss would be top scorer Rhys Griffiths who has attracted the attention of Cardiff.
My opinion is that Llanelli are playing mind games with Bangor and that most of these "injuries" are knocks and that we will see Griffiths performing on Sunday.
If you have any doubts you should wait until Sunday but my money will be on

this news from Welsh-premier site about the Llanelli injury news
Quote:
LLANELLI have seven injury doubts ahead of Sunday's bid to complete a treble by lifting the FAW Welsh Cup at Newtown's Latham Park.
Leading scorer Rhys Griffiths, who has more than 50 goals under his belt this season but missed last week's League Cup win, tops the list, with defenders Wyn Thomas (hamstring), Stuart Jones (ankle) and Gary Lloyd (calf), midfielders Matthew Jones (cracked rib), Craig Jones (hamstring) and Antonio Corbisiero (ankle) also in a race to be fit to face Bangor City.
Griffiths, along with Corbisiero, Thomas and Lloyd, is expected to get the green light while the three Joneses are rated 50-50, but keeper Ryan Harrison and midfielder Craig Williams both miss out through injury.
"The chairman is a winner and kicks every ball," manager Peter Nicholas told the Llanelli Star.
