Mold Alexandra head into the contest positioned 5th in the FAW Championship standings, while Holyhead Hotspur arrive sitting 13th. It has been a solid if unspectacular run for the hosts — D across their last five with a win rate of 50% — and they will want to push on from here. The visitors have found the going tough on their travels, LLDLL in their last five and a win rate of just 14.29% telling its own story. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Mold Alexandra average 2.38 per game to Holyhead Hotspur's 1, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. Ipswich would be open to permanent offers for the winger, who has three years to run on his contract.

How the two sides approach the contest strategically will be key. Mold Alexandra will want to control proceedings in front of their own supporters, while Holyhead Hotspur will back themselves to cause problems on the break. Speaking in his unveiling press conference on Thursday, he said: Bayern Munich had attempted to sign Benjamin Sesko ahead of Manchester United, but a deal proved too expensive, according to cfbayerninsider.

Star players on both sides will be eager to make their mark, and the individual duels across the pitch could go a long way to deciding the outcome. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. He produced a sublime assist for Reijnders' goal and then played a huge part in Muamba's rebound finish as his shot after cutting inside was parried straight to the striker to tap home.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. Backed by home advantage and superior form, Mold Alexandra ought to prevail — a 2-1 victory looks the logical call. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. Harry Kane is the favourite to win the Ballon d’Or.
