Can we expect a classic Euro Play-Off final this Saturday ?

Saturday will bring the 10th staging of the annual Cymru Premier Euro Play-Off final when Caernarfon Town host Newtown at The Oval.

The inaugural clash which carries Europa League qualification as the prize came in 2010-11, the opening season of the new 12-team Welsh Premier.

Neath ended up winners, pipping Prestatyn Town 3-2 in the final.

Based on past finals, it might be best not to expect a classic, with the majority having been tight affairs, but Caernarfon and Newtown are more than capable of putting on a good footballing show.

Only Bangor City have managed to win more than one play-off final.
