AFC Telford United lost 2-1 at their own ground and are still without a point in seventeenth. Five goals in those two openers beat the divisional rate of 2.25 goals per game. Merthyr have yet to concede, Telford have yet to keep an opponent quiet, and that contrast is the clearest line between the two starts. Fifteen places separate them in a table with a single round behind it, so the gap should be read with care. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off.

In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
