Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Cheltenham Town - Newport County!
- Cheltenham Town has the fewest conceded goals in the first half (7) in League Two
- Newport County have scored in all their away matches so far.
It's no vacation for neither Cheltenham nor Newport County as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Cheltenham Town form and stats
Cheltenham Town have played 11 League Two games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-3-3 (wins-draws-losses). The last three games played by Cheltenham, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.
An away draw last time out for Cheltenham, facing Bolton Wanderers in a game that ended 1-1. Before that, Cheltenham had a FA Cup home game versus Mansfield Town (after extra-time) which ended with a victory 2-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Cheltenham Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Cheltenham Town as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Cheltenham Town has won eleven of these, drawn two and lost three.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Cheltenham as they have a new game in only four days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Barrow are visiting.
A decent goal production from Cheltenham in their home games so far, with 17 goals from 11 league matches. Cheltenham have conceded 12 in these home matches.
Newport County form and stats
4-4-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Newport County in their League Two matches away. Newport has drawn their two previous away games.
Newport County's last game was the home draw against Salford City (0-0). A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Brighton & Hove Albion (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) in the FA Cup.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Newport playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were three Newport County wins, four draws and six defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League Two trip to Oldham Athletic.
Newport have scored 16 goals on their travels this season, from 11 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Newport have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
