Rovers's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Swindon Town (placed 9th). Daniels had a busy but productive day in the Swindon Town match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

Newport County form and stats

No League Two points yet away for Newport County, from their first 2 matches.

Newport play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-4 to Crewe Alexandra (placed 6th). An insane match with masses of goals last time out for Newport County, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that fun game, will this fixture be as gleeful? Which player has bagged at least one goal three games in a row for the away team? The correct answer is Evans and that is quite the feat! Attacker Evans got a player rating of 7.61 in the game. "Man of the match" Evans scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Prior to that match, a home win 4-0 against Doncaster Rovers.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 15 similar matches played by Newport in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Newport County, 5 draws and 6 defeats.
