Struggling Harrogate Town will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Newport County in the upcoming league round. It’s 20th vs 5th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Harrogate Town has the fewest points (7) at home in League Two
- Newport County has the most dropped points from leading position (17) in League Two
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a League Two match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Tranmere Rovers.
Harrogate Town form and stats
Harrogate Town's results here at CNG Stadium in the League Two have been very modest with 1 victory, 4 draws and 5 defeats. Harrogate are slowly digging their own grave here at CNG Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Barrow match.
No payout for Harrogate in their previous match, an away game at Tranmere Rovers that ended in defeat 2-3. A 2-2 draw away before that, with Salford City the opponent.
This is expected to be a close game, with Harrogate Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Harrogate Town as a small favourite), we find seven games. Harrogate Town has won four of these, drawn one and lost two.
Harrogate Town aren't scoring a lot here at CNG Stadium in the league, with only 7 goals from 10 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 13 goals have been conceded.
Newport County form and stats
4-5-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Newport County in their League Two matches away.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Newport, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-3 versus Oldham Athletic (placed 14th). Before that, Newport travelled to Cheltenham Town and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
It's a bit worrying for Newport County that their goalkeeper Tom King made six saves in the Oldham Athletic game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Newport in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Newport County, five draws and six defeats.
Newport County find the net regularly in their away games. 19 goals from 13 away fixtures in the league. 15 goals have been conceded by Newport County in these games.
