Newport County form and stats

Last season their EFL Trophy adventure ended in the 2nd round.

When playing at home in the League Two, Newport County have managed 7 wins, 7 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 17 games. On the other hand, in the EFL Trophy, Newport County has performed like this (both home and away): 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses.

Stress levels are on the rise for Newport County's attacking players as they have now played 416 minutes without scoring in a league game. J. Labadie was their last goal scorer.

No payout for Newport County in their previous match, an away game at Mansfield Town that ended in defeat 0-1. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Walsall that ended 0-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Newport County have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 19 matches with the results: Won ten, drawn seven and lost two.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League Two game versus Bradford City in only three days. This game is also played here at Rodney Parade.

Newport County are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 17 games. Newport County are not conceding a lot of goals here at Rodney Parade in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 12 from 17 matches.
