Recent form for both sides
Barry Town's form was strong for most of this run, with wins over Cambrian & Clydach, Flint Town, Cardiff MET, Holywell, Airbus UK and Briton Ferry stacked up through August. That good spell hit a bump though, with a 2-2 draw against Ammanford followed by a heavy 5-2 defeat at Colwyn Bay in their last outing.

Haverfordwest's story has moved the other way. They lost five league matches in a row between the start and end of August, without much going forward. Since then they've turned things round with wins over Trefelin, Briton Ferry and Holywell, plus a draw at Connah's Quay, so there's some momentum building even if the underlying numbers are still shaky.
Barry's recent dip and Haverfordwest's upturn mean the gap between them looks smaller right now than the table alone suggests.

That's a decent recent run for Barry in this fixture specifically, though results from a year or two back don't tell us much about how either side is playing right now.
Where they sit in the table
Barry Town are fifth in the Wales Premier League with 22 points from ten games, built on seven wins, one draw and two defeats. Their goal difference of plus nine, with 25 scored and 16 conceded, points to a side that's been productive and reasonably tight at the back.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | Colwyn Bay | 11 | 7 | 1 | 3 | 21/14 | 22 |
| 6 | Barry Town | 11 | 7 | 1 | 3 | 26/20 | 22 |

| 12 | Briton Ferry | 11 | 2 | 3 | 6 | 10/20 | 9 |
Haverfordwest sit down in 11th, with 10 points from nine matches: three wins, one draw and five losses. They've conceded 14 and managed only seven goals themselves, a big contrast to Barry's attacking numbers this season.
That gap in the table lines up with the general shape of each side's season so far.
Team news
The main note on either side is an injury concern for Haverfordwest, with J. Wilson listed as missing through injury. It's just one entry rather than a full squad picture, but it's worth flagging as a fitness issue for the away side heading into this one.

There's enough here to lean towards Barry Town on current league position and recent head-to-head results, but without a market to weigh against that assessment, we're not making a pick on this one.
Haverfordwest's recent upturn and Barry's mixed spell around their last outing add enough uncertainty that we'd rather wait and see how things look closer to kickoff.
Who will win?
