Penybont welcome Barry Town United to Bryntirion Park on Friday evening aiming to get back to winning ways in the Cymru Premier. The match kicks off at 7:45pm and offers the hosts a chance to respond after a narrow loss last time out.
Sitting third in the league with 27 points from 12 games, Penybont's form has been strong despite the recent setback. Their 1-0 defeat away to GAP Connah's Quay last Friday ended a run of four consecutive victories, which included a 5-1 thrashing of Ammanford and a 3-2 win over Briton Ferry.
Recent form and squad news
Barry Town arrive with a mixed record of two wins, two losses and a draw from their last five outings. Their most recent result was a 1-0 win at Caernarfon Town, but they were heavily beaten 4-1 by Connah's Quay the week before. The core of the Penybont side that started the 1-0 win at Trefelin last month, featuring players like Luke Shephard and Eliot Cann, is expected to be available again.
With the title race in focus, Penybont are seven points behind leaders The New Saints, making every home game important. After this encounter, their next league assignment is a trip to face Cardiff MET, who are currently seventh, on the final day of October.
