7th position in the League Two table for Newport County so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 12th-placed Crawley Town visits Rodney Parade.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Newport County and Crawley Town.

The season is still full of potential for Newport as they can still win the whole League Two. Crawley are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Newport County form and stats

When playing at home in the League Two, Newport County have managed 10 wins, 5 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 20 games.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 195 minutes without scoring a league goal. J. Labadie was the last player to find the net.

The Newport fans got no joy from their last match, a League Two game also here at Rodney Parade: A 0-1 defeat against Cambridge United (placed 1st). In the match before that, Newport County hosted Carlisle United and drew the game 0-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Newport have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 23 games) they have won eleven times, drawn five and lost seven.

The manager M. Flynn will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Exeter City in only four days.

Newport has scored 20 league goals at home this season, in 20 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Newport County have only conceded 17 from their league home games. 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 3 home matches.

Crawley Town form and stats

The visitors are W6-D6-L9 on the road this term. That's in the League Two.

The Crawley goalkeeper Glenn Morris is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 270 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Crawley Town are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the League Two against Cheltenham Town (placed 2nd). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Bradford City at their stadium, the result 2-0.

Jordan Maguire-Drew came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Cheltenham Town last time out, making the manager J. Yems feel like a tactical genius.

We have checked recent matches where Crawley have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 18 games were five victories, six draws and seven defeats.

After this away game Crawley Town return home for a League Two game against Forest Green Rovers. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Crawley Town have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 21 league away games 23 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Crawley have seen the ball go into their own net 30 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
