Both these teams are in pretty good shape, Bradford City enjoying a 1 point advantage on Newport County in the league table. Let's go!
- Newport County have the most matches over the total-line (7) in League Two
- Bradford City have won significantly less corners away then at home.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Newport County form and stats
Newport County have collected 7 points from their League Two home games so far after 2-1-1. Two home wins in a row for Newport bring valid hopes of a third.
A nice win for Newport County last time playing, versus Scunthorpe United. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-0 with Courtney Baker-Richardson, Dominic Telford and Oliver Cooper scoring for the victors. Defender Mickey Demetriou got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.8/10. Demetriou hit two key passes and won 9 of 14 duels.
Heartbreak before that as Newport lost 1-2 at Barrow's place.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 have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 16 matches with the results: Won eight, drawn four and lost four.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Newport as they have a new game in only three days, a EFL Trophy match thankfully also at home. Arsenal U21 are visiting.
A decent goal production from Newport County in their home games so far, with 7 goals from 4 league matches. Newport's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Bradford City form and stats
Playing away, Bradford City have won 1 game, drawn 1 and suffered 3 defeats in the League Two this season. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on D. Adams, the Bradford City manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Prior to that match, the Bradford manager D. Adams faced defeat when travelling to Crawley Town and losing 1-2.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bradford playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were two Bradford City wins, three draws and eleven defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Bradford City as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. Bradford have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
