The hosts have won both home matches, keeping clean sheets in each, with an average xG of 2.81 and just 0.86 xG conceded to opponents. Colwyn Bay have failed to win away, concede an average of 2.5 goals and have kept no clean sheets. The New Saints’ superiority is also evident in chance creation: they average 23 shots and 10 shots on target per match, compared with 15.5 and 2.5 for the visitors. The visitors have failed to score in 50% of their away matches, so the hosts’ solid defense should control the game and lead them to victory.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The New Saints have yet to concede a goal this season, keeping a clean sheet in 100% of their matches, while they have also conceded an average of 0.0 goals across their last five games. Colwyn Bay score only 1.0 goal per match on average and have failed to find the net in as many as 50% of their league appearances. The hosts also boast very strong current defensive metrics: opponents’ xG against them stands at just 0.76, compared with the 1.37 xG created by Colwyn Bay. The New Saints should, in turn, be able to exploit the visitors’ defensive weakness, as Colwyn Bay concede an average of 2.5 goals per match and have recorded no clean sheets. The hosts’ 0% BTTS rate, together with Colwyn Bay’s 20% BTTS rate across their last five matches, clearly supports a scenario in which at least one team—most notably the visitors—fails to score. Therefore, the recommended market is BTTS - No, meaning that at least one team will not score; it does not automatically imply a 0:0 result or that neither team will score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The New Saints have averaged 1.8 goals scored over their last 5 matches and have conceded none, clearly limiting Colwyn Bay’s attacking potential. The visitors have averaged just 1.0 goal during this period, with average xG of 1.37 compared to only 0.76 xG allowed by the hosts. Although The New Saints create plenty of chances, as confirmed by their high 2.63 xG over the last 5 matches, their games went over 2.5 goals in only 20% of cases. Colwyn Bay recorded Over 2.5 goals in 40% of their last 5 matches; however, the hosts’ defensive solidity points towards a scenario with no more than three goals. The Under 3.5 goals line therefore has the strongest support, combining The New Saints’ tight defense with the visitors’ limited finishing efficiency.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The New Saints have won both of their home matches so far, scoring an average of 1.5 goals and conceding none, while Colwyn Bay concede an average of 2.5 goals away from home. The hosts led at the break in both home fixtures, scoring an average of 1.5 goals before half-time without conceding. Colwyn Bay have not won any away match, and were trailing at half-time in half of those games. This is also supported by their current form: The New Saints have won 4 of their last 5 matches and kept a clean sheet in each, whereas the visitors have won only 2 of 5. The most likely scenario is therefore a 1/1 HT/FT outcome, with the hosts leading at the break and maintaining their advantage until the final whistle.
