TNS will have the chance to record three successive victories for the first time since November when they welcome Connah’s Quay Nomads to Park Hall on Tuesday afternoon.
New Saints have won the Welsh Premier League in each of the last three seasons, including last season when they finished 33 points clear of second-placed Connah's Quay. Craig Harrison's side have not been able to replicate that form this term and currently sit second, but the results of their last two games show why they are the champions. TNS beat Caernarfon Town 5-2 last time out, a result that followed a similar scoreline against Briton Ferry the week before.
Connah's Quay also impressed in their last Welsh Premier League outing. The visitors thrashed Flint Town United 7-2, a good response after failing to beat Caernarfon Town in their previous outing. And having won their last two away games against Trefelin and Newtown by 2-1 and 3-0 respectively, they will be fancying their chances of beating the champions on Tuesday.
TNS vs Connah’s Quay Nomads Betting Tips: TNS to win & Over 2.5 goals
While the New Saints conceded four goals in their last two games alone, they scored ten and I think they will do a similar thing against Connah’s Quay Nomads on Tuesday. The Saints scored 12 goals over the course of their last three meetings with Connah`s Quay and also won both encounters.
Connah’s Quay Nomads are also having a poor run defensively with the visitors failing to keep a clean sheet in each of their last five matches. They conceded at least 3 goals in 3 of those encounters, whilst their last encounter produced seven goals.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- TNS vs Connah’s Quay Nomads prediction: 2-2

Connah’s Quay Nomads head coach Billy Paynter will continue to rely on the services of Rhys Hughes who has found the back of the net on ten occasions this season.
