MATCH PREVIEW

Second meet third at Deeside Stadium Today's game sees second-place Nomads host thirdplace Bangor City as both side battle to secure a Top Six berth ahead of the split. The Nomads have had their best start to a season in recent history, having gone 11 games unbeaten in all competitions, trailing TNS by eight points. Bangor have also had a great start to the season, currently sitting just five points behind The Nomads in third place. The sides met earlier this season at Nantporth where a Wes Baynes wonderstrike and a Callum Morris goal against his old club was enough to give The Nomads an early victory in the league. The last time that The Citizens visited Deeside however saw them leave with all three points, as they won 3-1 here last October. Ahead of the all-important game, Manager Andy Morrison said "Welcome to Andy and all associated with Bangor. Today's game will be a real test against a very good Bangor team. I recently watched Bangor play Bala where they totally dominated the game only to get a draw. Leggy has put together a very strong squad with a mix of experience and youth. It is no surprise to me how well he has done since his return to the league - his success over many years at Llanelli proved he is one of the top manager the Welsh Premier League has ever seen ad I have no doubt that Bangor will be a major force for years to come. The free weekend was a welcome break and gave the squad an opportunity to rest up both physically and mentally. Tuesday's session was very bright and intense and on Thursday we specifically focused on Bangor, but yet again, I will have to wait until the day of the game to see who is available to play as long term injuries and niggles continue to hamper our preaparation. I knew there would be tough periods in the season, but what we have experienced is unprecedented. The fact we have the points we've got is a testament to the character and attitude of everyone at the Club." The Nomads vs Bangor City
