For the 15th Round of the Welsh Premiership there’s a confrontation at the end of the table for two clubs that fight bitterly to avoid relegation. The home side Briton Ferry will face Aberystwyth on Nov 02 at 17:15 GMT at the Old Road Stadium. Ostensibly, a confrontation that represents one of the last chances that they have to do better in the season.
Parallel course for both on Briton Ferry vs Aberystwyth
The figures are quite disappointing. The hosts are last on the table with just 5 points after 11 rounds having suffered 8 defeats, managing to tie 2 and rejoicing only once with a win. 10 for and 26 against are the goals scored. However, they do have a chance of advancing higher if they succeed in emerging victorious at the match in question and inthe 2 less matches that they owe. Mathematically, they can have the same standing as Flint Town United (3rd from last) and survive on the tie breakers.
On the other hand, the visiting team can show 2 wins. However, they have managed to get a draw only once while they have lost 10. The goal differential is even worse at 9 vs 30. Nevertheless, they just got a rise in their morale as they managed to clinch a win at their last match against Connah’s Quay away. A victory that came after 4 consecutive losses.
A slight advantage for the hosts
First of all, this is the first official match between the two. The head-2-head comparison has only one match to show last July 1t the home turf of Aberystwyth, where the now-visitors won by 2-1. The reverse fixture for the tournament is scheduled for January 1st of 2025. Briton Ferry enjoy a small preference from the bookmakers at @1.911 while the visitors receive @2.372. A good offer also exists for over 2.5 goals at @1.933.
Considering that this is the middle of the season and there already is an uncoverable difference (as it stands) with 8th Newtown, the best that both sides can hope for, is to cover the gap with Flint Town and Connah’s Quay and try to make them relegate and save themselves. In fact, Aberystwyth have already taken the first step on this by defeating Connah 2-1. Briton Ferry have the same chance as it is also the team that they face before the confrontation that we are discussing about.
Update
Before getting to the confrontation between then on Saturday, the hosts suffered a defeat at the hands of Connah’s Quay by 2-1. However, so did Aberystwyth at home from TNS by a massive 4-2. Now, it has become a fight between the last two teams in the standings with the gap to the salvation line getting bigger all the time. So, this has become a de facto fight for survival.
New odds for Briton Ferry vs Aberystwyth
A week ago, the home side’s victory would pay at @1.911. Now it will do so at @2.176. Previously, the multiplier for the visitors stood at @2.372. Now, it stands at @3.130. A total of over 3 goals scored, which is quite likely given the latest results, receives @2.130, while adding one more goal to the tally will payout at @2.380.
The aspect to consider seriously, is the fact that Briton Ferry still have 2 more matches to play than Aberystwyth. Therefore, they have a greater chance to reach a position above relegation. Plus the home field advantage, it makes sense that their morale may be a little higher than the visitors. So, we will go with the win for the home side, since the payout is almost the same as the next best option.
