More recently, though, things have tightened up considerably. Of the last five meetings, three finished level and the other two were decided by a single goal, including Caernarfon's 2-1 win in August 2026.
Recent meetings suggest this fixture can go either way regardless of league position.
Where they sit in the table
Connah's Quay currently sit second with 31 points from 13 games, while Caernarfon are fourth on 26 points from the same number of matches. That's a five-point gap, but it's not a huge one this early in the season.

| 1 | The New Saints | 13 | 12 | 1 | 0 | 44/6 | 37 |
| 2 | GAP Connah S Quay FC | 13 | 10 | 1 | 2 | 30/9 | 31 |

| 5 | Colwyn Bay | 13 | 8 | 1 | 4 | 22/15 | 25 |

What to expect
Put the table position and the head-to-head together and this looks closer than Connah's Quay's standing alone might suggest. They're the tidier side defensively, but Caernarfon have already shown this year they can beat them, even away from home.
With both sides scoring goals regularly and recent meetings tending to be tight affairs, this has the feel of a match that could turn on small margins rather than season-long form.

Connah's Quay's league position and tighter defensive numbers make them the more reliable side on paper, but the recent head-to-head record shows Caernarfon can live with them on the day. With no market available for this fixture, we're not putting forward a pick here.
