Connah’s Quay Nomads vs TNS prediction 31.12.2023
Connah’s Quay
TNS
Contents
- Competition: Welsh Premier League
- Date: 31st December 2023
- Kickoff: 14:30 UTC / 15:30 CET
- Venue: Essity Stadium
On Sunday afternoon, the two leading teams in the Welsh top flight, Connah’s Quay and TSN, will face each other in Flint, with the former acting as host.
After missing out on the league titles for the past two seasons, Connah’s Quay was anticipated to bounce back this season, and they didn’t disappoint their fans. Currently, Neil Gibson’s team is second in line with 14 victories from their 20 games. However, there’s a nine-point difference between them and the league leaders TNS, making anything less than a victory on Sunday unsatisfactory.
Meanwhile, The New Saints have secured the Welsh Premier League titles for the last two years, and show no indication of losing momentum. Craig Harrison’s team remains undefeated this season in the division, with an impressive record of 17 victories out of their 19 games to date.
Connah’s Quay vs TNS Betting Tips: Under 3.5 goals
Recently, these two sides have participated in some extremely engaging matches. Each of the last nine games involving Connah’s Quay have had a minimum of three goals. Similarly, over 2.5 goals were scored in six out of the last seven games involving TNS.
Nevertheless, the outcomes always differ when these two teams clash at the Essity Stadium. The previous eight encounters between them at this venue have all resulted in less than 2.5 goals. We anticipate that the game this weekend will follow the same pattern.
- Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals
- Connah’s Quay vs TNS prediction: 0-2

Connah’s Quay Nomads team news
In their last victory over Newtown, Connah’s Quay did not experience any injuries. Therefore, it wouldn’t be surprising if head coach Neil Gibson keeps the same starting eleven.
Apart from Jack Kenny and Harry Franklin being one yellow card away from suspension, the hosts have no concerns before Sunday’s game.
Aaron Williams from Newtown leads the golden boot race with 15 goals, but Jordan Davies is close behind with just one goal less.
Davies, having scored in the last four league games, is expected to lead the line with Jack Kenny, a 32-year-old forward who has scored eight goals this season.
