Flint Town United travel to The Airfield to face Airbus UK on Friday evening, looking to bounce back from a heavy defeat last weekend. The Silkmen were beaten 5-0 by league leaders The New Saints on Tuesday, a result that leaves them 14th in the Cymru Premier table with only two points from their opening nine matches.
Both sides are searching for a positive result after difficult recent form. Airbus UK themselves are on a run of four consecutive away defeats, including a 3-0 loss at GAP Connah's Quay last weekend. Their last victory came away at Briton Ferry on September 4. Flint's own winless streak now stretches to five games, with their last outing a 1-1 home draw against Cardiff MET.
The scale of the task facing Flint was clear in their last match, where The New Saints scored through Ben Young, Jordan Lock with a double, Iwan Jefferies and Ben Wilson. Flint's only goal in their last two games came from Iwan Modi in the first minute against Cardiff MET. Manager Lee Fowler will be looking for a much-improved defensive performance at The Airfield.
Friday's match kicks off at 18:45 UTC. Flint Town United then face a two-week break before their next fixture, a home match against Holywell on October 30.
