Wrexham return to the St\u014dk Cae Ras on Sunday afternoon as Swansea City make the trip to the world\u2019s oldest international football stadium. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Red Dragons broke the attendance record for a domestic league game in Wales when Connah\u2019s Quay Nomads visited the Racecourse last season and this is now their first top-flight game at the famous ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a crucial game too, with second-place Swansea continuing to chase down league leaders Cardiff City and Wrexham six points behind the Swans in third place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris Church\u2019s side have picked up 22 points from the last 24 available in the Genero Adran Premier, meaning they sit eight behind the Bluebirds with a game in hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Wrexham have suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time this season, as the Swans and Cardiff City have got the better of them at the start of phase two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the thrilling 3-3 draw between the two sides on the opening day at The Rock, Swansea have won two subsequent league meetings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardiff City will aim to take a step closer to the Genero Adran Premier title when they travel to Park Avenue to face Aberystwyth Town on Sunday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bluebirds stormed to a 6-1 victory away at Wrexham last weekend, with Eliza Collie\u2019s hat-trick at the Rock seeing her rise to the top of the league\u2019s scoring charts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collie, along with Rhianne Oakley and Hollie Smith, also scored in Cardiff\u2019s 3-0 win over Aberystwyth at the start of phase two, which was the Seasiders\u2019 last outing as their fixture with Swansea City postponed last weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aber are no doubt underdogs, but they are one of just two sides to earn a point against Cardiff this season as they held Iain Darbyshire\u2019s side to a goalless draw in the capital in September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barry Town United will hope to cement their place at the top of the Plate Conference when they travel to already-relegated Pontypridd United. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Angharad Beman\u2019s brace inspired Barry to a 3-0 win over The New Saints last Sunday, meaning that the Linnets have lost just one of their last six matches and that was against leaders Cardiff City. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 2-2 draw against Cardiff Met last weekend confirmed Pontypridd\u2019s relegation from the Genero Adran Premier, but they will be keen to end the campaign on a high and ensure they do not go through the whole season without a league win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barry won both meetings between the two sides in phase one before Taite Trivett cancelled out Efa Preece-Jones\u2019 opener in a 1-1 draw at the start of phase two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A slip up by Barry at USW Sports Park could allow either The New Saints or Cardiff Met to go top of the Plate Conference in their meeting at Park Hall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Saints would have been favourites to claim the Plate but they have suffered back-to-back defeats at the start of phase two and their winless streak in all competitions now stands at nine matches.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their last victory came against Met in December, but the Archers then defeated Greg Draper\u2019s side 4-1 at the start of phase two thanks to Esme Kilburn-Thompson\u2019s hat-trick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 2-2 draw against Pontypridd last weekend means that Daniel Delahey\u2019s side are now unbeaten in their last three matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
