Bristol Rovers vs Newport County Predictions

Take both teams to get a goal in Saturday’s League Two clash between Bristol Rovers and Newport at the Memorial Stadium. Newport have scored in five successive league games, and they could find the net against Rovers.

Both teams are at the wrong end of League Two, with Bristol Rovers 22nd and Newport just below them in 23rd. Rovers have six wins and Newport five, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season.

Bristol Rovers are struggling, with 15 reverses in their last 17 League Two games and eight straight home defeats. However, Newport have also lost their last three away games.

Both teams have scored in Newport’s last four League Two games, and five of the last six meetings between these sides have seen both teams find the net.

The visitors have been finding the net regularly, with Newport scoring in six of their last seven league games.

Both teams are struggling defensively. Bristol Rovers have conceded 47 goals this season in League Two – an average of 1.74 goals per game from 27 matches – while no team has conceded more than Newport’s 51 goals in the division.

A 2-1 away win for Newport looks a decent correct-score bet. Of Newport’s five wins in the league this season, two were by a 2-1 scoreline, and Bristol Rovers have lost three games on the spin by a single goal.
