Haverfordwest [7]v Caersws [11]
Haverfordwest have had excellent results against the better sides in this league but not so good against the average sides.Caersws not a consistant side but had a good result 1-1 against Rhyl last week.
Haverfordwest @2.10 home win 4/10
Newtown [5]v Bangor City [8]
Newtown threw away a 2-0 to lose 3-2 last weekend against 2nd placed Port Talbot .Bangor are still without a manager and rumour have it there is unrest among the players.Newtown's have had poor results in the last few games , but I am sure they can return to their early season form .This looks like a home win for me ,especially considering Bangor's problems.
Newtown @1.83 home win 8/10
Rhyl [4]v Carmarthen [6]
Rhyl have been dropping points away from home , they have had some reasonable results against teams in the top half of the table.Last season Rhyl was the only side pushing TNS ,they have dropped too many point to do that this season.I watched their performance against TNS live on the tele and Rhyl looked good , saw them live against my home side Porthmadog and still think they are TNS's nearest rival. Caermarthen had a moral boosting 8-0 win against "troubled" Grange last week .They have played teams at the bottom end of the table recently to move up the league. I think Rhyl superior class will tell in this match
Rhyl @1.66 home win 5/10 - poor odds though
Welshpool Town [3]v Porthmadog[10]
Welshpool another of the surprise teams this year,who are now in third place in the league ,were losing 0-2 to Llanelli but came back to win 3-2 which shows their fighting spirit.
Portmadog my home side are 6 points behind Welshpool but have 2 games in hand.Port have only lost 2 games this season ,only unbeaten TNS have lost less.Port have taken the lead in a few games only for the opposition to draw level .Recently they have cured this problem against the weaker teams in the league, can they keep up the good run against Welshpool .
These are the recent H2H
2004-12-16 Welshpool 1-1 Porthmadog
2004-08-14 Porthmadog 1-1 Welshpool
2004-01-16 Welshpool 0-1 Porthmadog
2003-09-06 Porthmadog 3-0 Welshpool
A draw could be dangerous but I am tempted by the price offered by
bet365 so I am going for my side.
Porthmadog @4.20 away win 2/10
