Newport County vs Chesterfield Predictions

• Newport are unbeaten at home in League Two (W3, D3)
• Chesterfield have lost three of their six trips
• Both teams have scored in five of Chesterfield’s last six in the league

Spireites head to Rodney Parade

Chesterfield make the trip to Rodney Parade on Friday after thrashing Crewe 5-1 but they may struggle to break Newport down.

County remain unbeaten at Rodney Parade after six games in League Two and they beat Chesterfield at this venue last season, claiming a 2-1 win in January.

The Spireites are the favourites to win after their mauling of Alex but Newport can pull off a small upset and claim the three points.

Chesterfield won at Salford in their first road game of the season but have largely struggled on their travels since. The Derbyshire outfit have won just one of their last five away from home, against Oldham, and have lost at strugglers Rotherham and Port Vale.

Newport are unbeaten in their last nine at home in normal time across all competitions and they can extend that streak with a victory on Friday but a clean sheet may be beyond the hosts. Chesterfield have scored in five of their six league trips and can keep this game tight so a 2-1 home win is the correct score prediction.

The Exiles are without top scorer Shaquille Gwengwe as he serves the final game of his ban and in his absence midfielder Harrison Biggins is a contender for a goal. Biggins has three goals and as many assists this season and tends to get plenty of chances as he averages 1.9 attempts per game.
