Welsh Cup 25th Feb

[traeth]

Sat, 25th of Feb, 2012
12:30 The New Saints v Neath 1.61 3.40 5.00
13:00 Bala Town v Llanelli 2.70 3.25 2.30
14:30 Aberystwyth v Cefn Druids 1.67 3.40 4.50
14:30 Airbus v Carmarthen 1.57 3.60 5.00

Cefn are the only lower tier side in the last eight of the Welsh Cup , they are second in the H.G. with a couple of games in hand.
Aber have not won in the league for a long while , they did draw their last two games. Could be worth considering Cefn if the double chance was above evens.

In the last round 5 of the 8 matches were draws after 90 mins , so may be worth considering the draw in some of the games

I've been busy this week and with the big match of Wales v England , I've paid more attention to the rugby , because of the big match there are early kick off for two of the quarter final matches. Here's my quick take on today's matches

T.N.S. v Neath early kick off
TNS second versus third in the league.
TNS do have the home advantage of playing on their plastic pitch but they did lose 2-1 to Neath at home three weeks ago.
TNS had a good 2-0 win against Llanelli last week
I'm going for a home win here.

Bala Town v Llanelli

Bala Town's pitch is a bit of a battlefield but I think Llanelli superior class will tell here

Airbus v Carmarthen

Airbus lost at Carmarthen last week
I cannot see them repeating that feat today and I'm leaning towards Airbus due to Carmarthen having cup-tied players but I'm giving this game a miss

Aber v Cefn
Cefn the lower tier team who are second in their league, Cefn play direct boring football which may work against Aber
Aber have struggled this season and could be held to a draw.
I'm going for an upset here

my bets
Cefn @ 4.5
TNS/Llanelli double
