These two met only last month, with The New Saints winning comfortably on the road. This return fixture, now at their own ground, gives us a clearer look at just how one-sided this rivalry currently is.

A table that tells its own story
The New Saints are top with 37 points from 13 games, unbeaten all season with 12 wins and a single draw. Trefelin are down in 15th on just 6 points, having won only once in 13 outings.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The New Saints | 13 | 12 | 1 | 0 | 44/6 | 37 |
| 2 | GAP Connah S Quay FC | 13 | 10 | 1 | 2 | 30/9 | 31 |
| 3 | Penybont | 13 | 9 | 3 | 1 | 25/11 | 30 |
| 14 | Flint Town United | 13 | 2 | 2 | 9 | 12/25 | 8 |

| 16 | Holywell | 13 | 0 | 2 | 11 | 14/44 | 2 |
The goal difference gap is stark too. The New Saints have scored 44 and conceded just 6, while Trefelin have shipped 31 against their own 8 scored.
This isn't a close title race versus a mid-table side. It's the division's best against one of its weakest.
What this points towards
Put the table, the recent form and that head-to-head together and it's a consistent picture. The New Saints look like one of the league's stronger sides by some distance, while Trefelin have struggled for results and goals against most opponents, not just this one.
The one thing to flag is the time gap. This match is roughly a month on from the data we have, so there's scope for either side's form to shift before kickoff.

Everything here points toward a comfortable missmatch on paper, from the standings gap to both teams' recent results. That's a useful read on the match itself, but it doesn't hand us a market to back with confidence.
With nothing priced up to assess, we're sitting this one out rather than guessing at a line.
