We would expect a pronounced gap in performance between these sides based on the league table so far, with Stevenage leading Newport County by 9 points.
- Stevenage have won all their matches at home so far.
- All of Newport County's away-matches have had more than 1,5 goals.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Stevenage form and stats
Perfect League Two season at home so far for Stevenage 3 wins from 3 appearances.
Stevenage enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Crewe Alexandra's place. The match ended 2-1 with Reid (2) scoring. Attacking player Reid outshone all teammates in that game and was awarded a match rating of 8.82 out of 10. Reid scored two goals and hit two key passes.
Before that game, a fine away win at Peterborough United. A EFL Trophy match. 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 Stevenage have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 3 and lost 1.
The Stevenage fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches. From these home matches, Stevenage have conceded only 2 goals.
Newport County form and stats
Things could have gone better for Newport County in their League Two away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Newport might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Grimsby Town proved too strong as Newport County slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Rodney Parade. The attacker Bogle got a match rating of 7.63 in that game. Bogle hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
Ahead of that, the EFL Trophy win away at Exeter City. Newport County are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. From a total of 4 matches.
Newport has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 5 goals from 3 games.
