Newport County form and stats

When playing at home in the League Two, Newport County have managed 6 wins, 6 draws and suffered 9 defeats from 21 games.

Happy days for Newport County in their previous game, a fixture away at Doncaster Rovers (placed 16th) that ended with a 3-1 victory. Defender Demetriou got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 8.34/10. Demetriou signed up for two assists, hit two key passes and won 6 of 6 duels.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Mansfield Town (1-2).

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 County have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 15 games) they have won 8 times, drawn 2 and lost 5.

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

The Newport County fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 23 in 21 matches. On the other hand, Newport have conceded 25 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Harrogate Town form and stats

Harrogate Town have only collected 18 points from their away games in the League Two, after 4-6-11 (21 played).

Harrogate Town lost away at Northampton Town (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Until that loss this team had taken at least one point from six league fixtures in a row. Midfielder Falkingham was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.3. Falkingham hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Walsall.

We have checked recent matches where Harrogate Town have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 20 games were 3 victories, 4 draws and 13 defeats.

Goal alert! This club have played 5 consecutive league fixtures all having three or more than three goals (over 2.5 goals).

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League Two trip to Mansfield Town.

The visiting Harrogate have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 23 goals from 21 games. Harrogate Town's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 33 goals from these trips.
