With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second League Two game of the season. Newport County look forward to welcoming Barrow in front of their home support.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Carabao Cup match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Cambridge United, was also a home game here at Rodney Parade. The away team is better rested.

Newport County form and stats

The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Cambridge United in the Carabao Cup last time out and are looking for a win here. 1-1 away at Scunthorpe United before that.

This is expected to be a close game, with Newport County perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Newport as a small favourite), we find 21 games. Newport County has won nine of these, drawn nine and lost three.

Last season, Newport County's league statistics were 12 wins, 10 draws and 14 losses, resulting in a 15th position in the League Two. Over these 36 matches they scored 32 goals and conceded 39. Playing at home last season Newport County managed 9-7-3 (win-draw-lost) with 20 goals and 13 conceded.

Barrow form and stats

Barrow's last game was the home draw against Stevenage (1-1). A 0-0 draw at Blackpool (after extra-time, 5-3 on penalties)'s stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Barrow playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were seven Barrow wins, three draws and two defeats.

Let's have a look at how Barrow performed last season in the Vanarama National League: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 21 victories, 7 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 68 and conceded 39 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 5 and lost 5 with 35/24 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

As for the last six games between these two teams, there's two Newport victories, one draw and three Barrow wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, one match with two goals or less.
