Match description

I predict an away win: Briton Ferry have scored 44 goals this season versus Bala’s 32, and average 1.73 goals per away game while Bala score only 0.87 at home with 2.87 shots on target. In the last 5 matches the visitors have 7 goals and 2 conceded with a 3-1-1 record (2.0 points per game); the hosts have 8 goals and 3 conceded with a 2-2-1 record (1.6 points per game). Defensively Bala concede 1.2 goals per home match versus 1.47 conceded by Briton Ferry away, but xG metrics favor the visitors (xG for: 1.11 home vs 1.40 away; xG against: 1.57 vs 1.67). Additionally the visitors have higher possession and better quality of chances (47% possession vs 41%, conversion rate 16% vs 10% and 4.73 shots on target vs 2.87), and Bala fail to score in 40% of home games compared to only 13% of away games for the visitors. Considering the superior efficiency, higher number of shots on target and xG advantage for the visitors, I give them the better chances to win, while noting a significant draw risk due to Bala’s 47% home draw rate.
