The first tier two fixture selected for live broadcast on Cymru Football TV will see Newtown host Buckley Town at Latham Park on Saturday 31 October (KO 19:45).
Both sides have been performing well in Novira Cymru North.
Newtown will be looking to make home advantage count. They have a perfect record away from home this season, but their recent form at Latham Park has seen them drop points against Porthmadog and fellow promotion hopefuls Bangor City 1876.
Their biggest strength has been their defence, with Jay Owen’s side conceding just three goals all season. They will be hoping to keep another clean sheet against an in-form Buckley Town side.
The visitors will be looking to claim another valuable result on the road. The Bucks have already upset several promotion hopefuls away from home this season, picking up wins at Bala and Bangor City 1876.
Dave Evans has been able to turn to Ben Guest for inspiration, with the midfielder picking up 10 goal contributions across their 11 league games.
Evans was named Cymru North Manager of the Month for September, while Guest picked up the Player of the Month in a cracking double for the Flintshire club.
Buckley came out on top in both meetings between the sides last season, recording a 3-0 victory at home before a 2-0 win at Latham Park.
