Newport County form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first League Two game of the season here at Rodney Parade. Last season these fans witnessed 9 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses from Newport County's 23 home games.
Bogle was the last player to score a league goal for Newport County and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Newport County haven't scored in 232 minutes.
Newport faced defeat in their previous match, away at Bradford City (0-2). Lewis (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.31/10. Lewis hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
This is expected to be a close game, with Newport County perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Newport County as a small favourite), we find 15 games. Newport County has won 6 of these, drawn 3 and lost 6.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Newport County, as the League Two home game vs Tranmere Rovers is only four days away.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Newport County at home in the league. 0 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Salford City form and stats

280 minutes! That's how long the Salford City goalkeeper Thomas King and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Salford had fun at their own home (Rodney Parade) last time out, beating Crewe Alexandra 3-0. McAleny and Thomas-Asante (2) scored. The attacker Thomas-Asante got a match rating of 9.31 in that game. Thomas-Asante scored two goals, served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Salford City playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were 4 Salford City wins, 3 draws and 9 defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Salford City manager Wood as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Doncaster Rovers.
