JD Cymru Premier Predictor | Mark Jones’ Matchday 1 predictions

The JD Cymru Premier returns this weekend and Mark Jones has made his Matchday 1 predictions.

The Cymru C head coach has predicted a home win for Newtown in the first fixture of the new season against Aberystwyth Town at Park Avenue. The Robins are unbeaten in their last six meetings against the Seasiders.

Barry Town United and Bala Town earned a victory apiece in their two meetings last season but Jones has predicted a draw at Jenner Park this time around.

Cardiff Met opened the 2024/25 campaign with a 3-2 win over Llantwit Major in the Nathaniel MG Cup last weekend and Jones has backed the Archers to kick off the league season with a victory over Flint Town United.

Jones has predicted a home victory for last season’s runners up Connah’s Quay Nomads against Haverfordwest County at Cae y Castell.

Penybont earned a convincing 3-0 win over Briton Ferry Llansawel in the Nathaniel MG Cup last weekend but Jones is predicting a draw at Old Road on Sunday.
