90-minute pick: Radcliffe to win.
Radcliffe’s recent run of three wins in five and the fact they have scored more in their last five matches than Merthyr (8 v 4) give them the momentum at home. Merthyr’s winless sequence and the heavier goals-against tally in recent games make them the more fragile side going into this fixture, so a home victory is the most evidence-backed call.

Practical context: the two clubs are level on points but separated by form and recent goalscoring. Radcliffe’s last-five total (eight goals scored, eight conceded) contrasts with Merthyr’s four for and ten against in the same span; that difference in attacking output and defensive stability underpins the narrative for the tie. Kick-off is Saturday 31 October at 15:00 GMT at the Neuven Stadium.
