Match Preview: Bala Town vs Aberystwyth Town



The Lakesiders look to get back to winning ways after successive defeats to Penybont and Cardiff Met at Maes Tegid, with the visit of Aberystwyth Town next up who have picked up just one win in the opening six games of the season.


It's been two successive defeats for the Town, having now won two, drawn two and lost two in the opening six games of the season, and now head into a busy two weeks with four games to contest in both the Nathaniel MG Cup and the JD Cymru Premier.


On the other hand, Aberystwyth have picked up just the one win so far this season and have conceded 14 goals in their opening six matches, while only netting four goals.

Danger Man

Iwan Lewis: The 31 year old was a mainstay in the Aber squad last season, scoring just the four league goals but playing a pivotal role in the Midfield as the Seasiders escaped relegation. The Welshman would only miss one league game in all of last season's JD Cymru Premier league, having been dismissed for two yellow cards in this fixture at Park Avenue. Lewis will be the main man to spur the Seasiders on in tonight's match as they look for their second victory of the season.


Previous Meetings

In all of the last 12 meetings between the two sides, the visitors this evening have only won on one occasion, with their only victory coming in last season's home game against the Seasiders where a John Owen goal in the first half secured the points for the visitors on the evening at Maes Tegid. The last meeting between the two sides would be decided by a last gasp winner from Josh Ukek for the Town, as he netted a 96th minute winner at Park Avenue after Luca Hogan equalised for the Seasiders on the stroke of added time.
