Haverfordwest County make the journey up the M4 to take on Cardiff Metropolitan at Cyncoed Campus in the JD Cymru Premier on Friday night.
The Bluebirds tasted defeat in their most recent outing in the league, losing 2-0 to Newtown, a result which brought an end to their three-game winning run. The Archers, meanwhile, conceded a late equaliser away at Flint Town United to draw 1-1.
As they were when the sides met at the Ogi Bridge Meadow back in September, the Students find themselves sitting in fifth place in the standings, with eight wins, one draw and seven defeats to their name so far. County are three places and five points further back in eighth, but could end the night as high as sixth should results go their way.
