Season ticket holders at The Lamex Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Stevenage languishing in the 24th position so far. The guesting Newport County will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
The visiting Newport County played their last game only four days ago, a League Two match. That game was also an away game, at Carlisle United. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Stevenage form and stats
With 2 League Two wins, 6 draws and 9 defeats from their home games, Stevenage are certainly not brimming with confidence. There's also a terrible streak running regardless of playing venue as Stevenage have lost eight games in a row. With nine home League Two games in a row without a win, the Stevenage fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Morecambe game long ago, can be stopped today.
No payout for Stevenage in their previous match, an away game at Crewe Alexandra that ended in defeat 1-3. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Crawley Town.
Stevenage's goalkeeper Paul Farman was extremely busy against Crewe Alexandra, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Swindon Town are coming to town in three days.
Stevenage have scored 10 league goals here from 17 matches, not a lot. Stevenage have conceded 22 in these home matches.
Newport County form and stats
Newport County have only collected 12 points from their away games in the League Two, after 3-3-11 (17 played). Bitter travels for Newport County as they have lost six games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Scunthorpe United match.
There might be some fixture complaints from Newport County as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the League Two match against Carlisle United (0-2). A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Morecambe.
Newport County has another fixture away, a League Two game, against Crawley Town in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The visitors have scored 12 goals from 17 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Newport County have conceded 26 goals in these games.
