Newport County form and stats

Newport County have collected 15 points from their League Two home games so far after 4-3-2.

Newport County's last game was hosting Sutton United (placed 6th) and winning 3-2. The game against Sutton United had lots of late drama as Newport came back from being down 0-2 and finally secured the victory through Dolan's goal in the 90th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when Dolan scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time. Defender Matthew Dolan got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 8.0/10. Dolan scored one goal, hit two key passes and won 5 of 7 duels.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Colchester United that finished 1-1.

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 County have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 17 matches with the results: Won eight, drawn four and lost five.

The Newport manager Rowberry has got the team scoring with 18 from 9 home games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Newport have conceded 10 goals.
