Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Newport County with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Crawley Town game, 52 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Newport County manager M. Flynn might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Stevenage form and stats

There's been little loot from Stevenage's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 10 away games in the League Two. Stevenage only have 0 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 6 draws.

Stevenage aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 278 league minutes without a goal. S. Cuthbert was the last player to find the net. The Stevenage goalkeeper Paul Farman is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 360 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
