Afan Lido's record over the same length of sample is shakier. They've got 9 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses, with 34 goals conceded against 30 scored. Their last five league matches brought just one win, two draws and two defeats, so there's no real winning run to point to.

Penybont head into this with the healthier underlying numbers and better recent results.

Head-to-head history

These two have met four times that we have on record, stretching back to 2018 across friendlies, cup competitions and league fixtures. The most recent meeting, a 2024 friendly, finished 6-0 to Penybont, while a League Cup tie the year before ended level at 1-1.

Earlier results were tighter, including a 3-3 draw in 2019 and a narrow Afan Lido win back in 2018. Given how spread out these games are across different competitions and seasons, this history doesn't tell us much about either side's current form.

How the tie could play out

Penybont's recent matches have mostly come in a higher division, with some European football mixed in too, while Afan Lido have been playing in a lower tier this season. That difference, combined with Penybont's better recent form, suggests they go into this with more confidence.

Cup football doesn't always follow the form guide, though, and Afan Lido have shown they can win games on their own patch this season. Without team news or standings to lean on, the form gap between the two sides is the clearest signal available here.
