BANGOR City’s Nev Powell is likely to opt for an unchanged line-up at Aberystwyth today, hoping to maintain the excellence of the 5-1 Tuesday trouncing of Newi Cefn Druids.
“We played well, won with a bit of style and could have got a few more goals, which was all very satisfying,” said City’s manager.
“We have a number of young lads in the team and confidence is important to them, to go along with their obvious ability – and the mood is really upbeat right now.
“We have been playing well at home but our away form and results must be improved.
“Aberystwyth have a nice big pitch where we can express ourselves.”
Successive Bangor sides have fared well at Park Avenue – and Powell said his side will target three points again.
Teenager Michael Johnston, who has created a significant presence in the heart of City’s defence since his arrival from Tranmere, is expected to start again.
But Lee Webber’s knee injury means he may not be risked, while Kieran Killackey has shrugged off an ankle knock.
Aberystwyth boss Brian Coyne has been satisfied with his side’s start despite dropping four points in their last two outings on the road, writes John Bridgwater.
The Seasiders have yet to break into the top half of the table after losing 1-0 at Llanelli followed by a last-gasp midweek 1-1 draw at Caersws.
“We’ve had two tough away games, but I’m still quite happy with the start we’ve made,” said Coyne.
“Strangely enough we played better against Llanelli who were top of the table and we deserved something from the game. Against Caersws, who were bottom, it was a bit of a struggle.”
Young striker Geoff Kellaway is pressing for a place in the starting line up.
Meanwhile, Airbus UK Broughton aim to bounce back from their first defeat of the season when they host Carmarthen Town today.
The Wingmakers were brought down to earth with a 1-0 reverse at Connah's Quay Nomads in midweek, their first loss in six league outings.
But player-boss Gareth Owen said: “We went down to a freak goal, and it was one of those nights for us.”
Striker Paul Hallows, on the bench in midweek, could start if he proves his fitness while midfielder Phil Molyneux could make his first start this term.
