It's the penultimate game of the season for the Lakesiders, as we head to the Essity Stadium to take on Connah's Quay Nomads, with both sides having already secured their spot in the qualifying rounds of the Europa Conference League for next season.
The Lakesiders come into tonight's fixture having secured our European status last weekend with our 1-1 draw against Newtown. Although our re-arranged fixture against The New Saints in mid-week would end in a 4-1 defeat at Park Hall, as the Saints look to go unbeaten in this JD Cymru Premier season.
The Nomads on the other hand; have come through a dip in form to qualify for the JD Welsh Cup Final whilst also qualifying for Europe and putting three past Cardiff Met in their previous outing down to the Capital.

Danger Man
Jordan Davies - The 28 year old is the top goal scorer for the Nomads this season, with 19 goals to his name in the JD Cymru Premier and has seven goals and three assists in just four appearances in the JD Welsh Cup this season. The Welshman's next destination is Scottish side Greenock Morton having signed a pre-agreement with the Club for this summer, will be looking to bring his time at the Nomads to a successful close with silverware still up for grabs in the JD Welsh Cup Final against The New Saints. Davies was recently called up to the Cymru C squad in their match against England C, and almost completed the full 90 minutes after being substituted for Ben Ahmun in the 89th minute.
