Accrington Stanley vs Newport County Predictions

Another entertaining Accrington game

Accrington have scored at least twice in all three of their League Two home games this season, and over 2.5 goals is the bet when they host Newport on Saturday.

Both teams are at the wrong end of League Two. Newport are 19th and Accrington 21st, with the two sides separated by no points. Both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season.

Accrington have recorded four victories in the last six League Two head-to-heads with Newport, but they haven’t been getting many wins recently, recording only one victory in their last ten games. For their part, Newport have lost three League Two away games in a row.

The hosts have been involved in plenty of open games lately. Accrington’s last four League Two matches have had three goals or more, and they have conceded at least twice in all three of their home games this season.

Both teams have been struggling defensively of late. Accrington have yet to keep a clean sheet after six League Two games and Newport have failed to shut out the opposition in five consecutive matches.

Both teams have been in goalscoring form recently. Accrington have scored at least twice in four of their last six League Two games, while Newport have scored three goals or more in two of their six matches this season.

Accrington’s last two League Two draws have both finished 2-2 and that scoreline appeals as a correct-score pick here. Two of Newport’s six league matches this season have produced over 3.5 goals, so there should be goals at both ends in this one.
