League Two: High-profile vs below average, at least that's what the standings say. Notts County - Newport County. Home victory or a surprise result?
- Notts County have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Newport County have the most matches over the total-line (12) in League Two
It's no vacation for neither Notts County nor Newport County as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Notts County form and stats
Notts County have been very solid at home in the League Two so far, with 15 points collected from 6 matches (5-0-1). This has contributed greatly to their 2nd position in the table.
Notts County are returning here after visiting Gillingham and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Langstaff and Macari scored the goal(s). World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Williams when Macari scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 16th minute. Palmer (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.01/10. Palmer hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 102 successful passes (of 107 total).
Preceding that match was a defeat to Mansfield Town (1-4).Betting people might want to know that 10 of the latest 11 league matches from this football club have had goals from both sides.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League Two game versus Wrexham in only four days. This game is also played here at Meadow Lane Stadium.
County are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (16 goals in 6 games).
Newport County form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Newport County so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-5 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Newport County's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Newport County played 3-3 against Walsall in their previous match. A mental fixture with plenty of goals last time out for Newport, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that match, will this match be as refreshing? Midfield player Morris was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.42/10. Morris scored two goals.
A 0-2 defeat away at Swindon Town before that.Observe that 12 of this side's 14 most recent league rounds have ended with three goals or more.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Newport County manager Coughlan as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Gillingham.
Newport County have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 6 league away games 7 goals have been scored. Newport have conceded 15 goals in these games. Newport County has visited these top teams three times, and 2 of 3 has ended with 2 goals or more!
Head 2 Head
Statistics for the previous eight meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Notts County, one draw and four wins for Newport County. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
