Newport County form and stats

With 3 League Two wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Newport County are certainly not brimming with confidence. When Newport County hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Newport County, Colchester United, Rochdale, Gillingham, Hartlepool United, Crewe Alexandra and Harrogate Town), they have won 2 of 3 matches!

The home fans saw a 0-0 draw versus Leyton Orient last time out and are looking for a victory here. Midfield player Lewis got a match rating of 7.64 in that game, the max score being 10. Lewis hit three key passes and had 20 successful passes (of 23 total).

A 1-1 draw away before that, with AFC Wimbledon the opponent.

Trench warfare? Looking at this club's last 17 league matches, 13 have seen zero, one or two goals.

Newport County have scored {9 league goals} here from 12 matches, not a lot. Newport's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 14 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches. Newport County has at home met teams with this table position (low), three times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 3 of 3 times.

Crawley Town form and stats

There's been little loot from Crawley Town's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 11 away games in the League Two. Crawley Town only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 5 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.

There might be some fixture complaints from Crawley Town as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 1-3 against Stevenage. Johnson, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.34. Johnson won 2 of 2 duels.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Sutton United.

The attacking power of Crawley Town when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 11 league matches away. Crawley's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 20 goals from these trips.
