Newport County form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Rodney Parade as Newport County have scored 15 goals to get 23 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the League Two are 7-2-1 (wins-draws-losses).

Newport lost their last game at Harrogate Town (placed 20th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Heartbreak before that as Newport lost 2-3 at Oldham Athletic's place.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Newport County handle that role? We have found 20 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are eleven wins, four draws and five defeats.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Southend United are coming to town in three days.

A decent goal production from Newport in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 10 league matches. 10 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Grimsby Town form and stats

There's been little loot from Grimsby Town's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 13 away games in the League Two. Grimsby Town, who have the most conceded goals (25) away in League Two, only have 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 2 draws. It's all red in the travel logs of Grimsby, having lost five matches in a row as the visiting team.

Home advantage was not enough for Grimsby in their previous game, as they lost their League Two-match, hosting Stevenage, 1-2. A 0-3 defeat away at Scunthorpe United before that.

Grimsby were so close to getting something from the game against Stevenage, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal five minutes into overtime.

We have checked recent matches where Grimsby have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 15 games were three victories, two draws and ten defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Grimsby Town as they have only managed to score 11 times from 13 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Grimsby Town's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 25 goals from these trips.
