Accrington Stanley vs Newport County Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Preview

With all the troubles that Newport are going through this season it should come as little surprise that our tip is for an Accrington Stanley win. It is available at a very healthy price as bet365 are offering 10/11. For our correct score tip we like the look of a 2-1 home win which is priced at 15/2 with the same site.

Accrington have had an interesting start to the season and after a slow start they have managed to recover and currently sit in seventh position. Much of this recovery has been on the back of a improvement in their home form, in their last four home games they have managed to claim eight points but they have shown some vulnerabilities at the back, having also conceded in their last three home games.

Newport’s season has been nothing short of a disaster so far but since the appointment of Graham Westley there has been a few signs of the green shoots of recovery. County may be without a win in their last 11 league games but they have shown a small amount of recovery in recent weeks and were able to claim a 2-2 draw with Barnet in midweek.

Both teams have scored in 86% of Stanley’s games in the league this season, so they will take comfort in the fact that they are facing the worst attack in the division. Newport have only scored 13 times this season and that tally will be a large factor in the reason they are five points adrift at the bottom of League Two.
