Newport County vs Colchester United Predictions
We are backing Colchester to add to Newport’s misery and record a victory with over 2.5 match goals, which is available at 13/5 with bet365. For our correct score tip we think it will be a comfortable afternoons work for the visitors and although we don’t think they’ll manage to keep a clean sheet we are still predicting a fairly convincing look to the scoreboard. A 3-1 away win is available at 16/1 with the same site.
Whichever stat you look at you would be hard pressed to find one that paints Newport County in a decent light this season. The Exiles sit at the foot of the Football League and have the unfortunate record of the worst home record in League Two. County have only managed one win at home this season with one of the worst defensive records in the league it doesn’t look like things will improve anytime soon. Although they have lost their previous eight league games there is a small crumb of comfort, they have scored in each of the last four and also six of their last eight league games.
Colchester’s form is at the other end of the scale to their hosts and their return of 22 points in their last eight games is the joint best in the division. The U’s have also been free scoring in that time with 20 goals in those same eight fixtures.
Whilst the price of the outright Colchester win at 13/10 is attractive, the form of these two sides suggest there may be value in one of the other markets. To have Colchester overcome a one goal handicap is available at a very reasonable 10/3 but the one which catches our eye is for Colchester to win and there to be over 2.5 goals. We feel that both aspects of this bet are likely to land and it represents some great value for money.
