- Newport County have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Salford City has the fewest conceded goals (17) in League Two
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a League Two game only four days ago. That game, against Scunthorpe United, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Salford City.
Newport County form and stats
Newport County are steadily winning League Two games and points here at Rodney Parade. 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat is the summary from 9 games.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Brighton & Hove Albion (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) in the FA Cup last time out and are looking for a win here. 1-1 away at Crawley Town before that.
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 20 games) they have won eleven times, drawn four and lost five.
There will be little rest for Newport County after this match as they are travelling to Cheltenham Town for a League Two game in only three days.
Newport County have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Rodney Parade with 15 goals in 9 league matches. 10 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Salford City form and stats
5-0-6 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Salford City, who have the fewest conceded goals (17) in League Two, in their League Two matches away.
Two travels in a row for Salford, whose manager R. Wellens could celebrate last time after the League Two win against Scunthorpe United. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Mansfield Town wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
Salford are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is six wins, one draw and four defeats. From a total of eleven matches.
Salford find the net regularly in their away games. 11 goals from 11 away fixtures in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (10 so far).
