📋 Match Details

Today's fixture is a must win for the Lakesiders with the gap growing between the Town and those above them. Currently, the Lakesiders are four points from safety with Flint Town occupying the 10th spot and more importantly outside the relegation zone. A win today would bring the gap between the Town and Briton Ferry to two points with Flint Town playing later today against Cardiff Met.

The hosts have had a mixed bag of results to begin Phase Two, with a win, draw and defeat in their opening three games. However, the Ferry will be happy to currently be sitting in 9th position and are still in for a shout at the European Play-Off position.

📈Opponents Form

Briton Ferry began Phase Two with a victory at home to Llanelli Town, before facing a 2-0 defeat to Haverfordwest County after two second half goals.

Ferry brought their Phase One to an end with back-to-back wins against Barry Town and Haverfordwest County, with 2-1 and 3-2 wins respectively.
