Preview: We Hate Ben vs. Abertina (Aberystwyth Town Cup First Round)

We Hate Ben resume their Aberystwyth Town Cup campaign with what could be a tricky tie against an improving Abertina. WHB, who had their opening league fixture postponed due to bad weather last week, will be raring to go after their break. Abertina managed an impressive penalty shootout win over Phoenix in the previous round, and are trying to shake their tag of whipping boys after finishing in last place in the league for the last two campaigns.

WHB will still be missing Andy Rhodes and Joey Scutt from the side, but Louis Robertson should make a return to the squad. Jack Ingham and Harry Oliver are out, while Jay Walker and James Phllips may begin on the bench.

Opposition: Abertina
Competition: Aberystwyth Town Cup 1st Round
Venue: Blaendolau Fields (12PM KO)
Stats/Form: We Hate Ben started their season with a 3-1 win over Serie A rivals Balls Deep in this competition, while their first league match was postponed. Abertina drew 3-3 with Phoenix in the last round but won on penalties. They finished 8th in the Champions League last year, meaning they have finished bottom of their division in both seasons. Abertina are definitely on the up however and will be looking to continue their progress with a win.
