Under 2.5 Match Goals

Reason for tip

Newport are expected to set up to frustrate Manchester United and seven of their last nine games have produced fewer than three goals. Manchester United only beat League One Wigan 2-0 in the last round and have scored just three goals in their last five away games, with four of these producing fewer than three goals.

Manchester United 2-0

Reason for tip

Under 2.5 goals has landed in four of Manchester United’s last five away games.

Newport prepare for historic day

Newport County will be eyeing up an historic giant killing on Sunday and, while victory will be a big ask, they could keep it respectable against the floundering Manchester United.

The visitors beat League One-side Wigan away from home in the FA Cup third round and a similar result could be on the cards against a Newport side that held Brentford to a 1-1 draw in the Carabao Cup in August.

Goals hard to come by at Rodney Parade

A backs-to-the-wall performance is expected from the hosts and that could make for a frustrating watch. Under 2.5 goals has landed in seven of their last nine matches and the visitors have scored just three goals in their last five away games, with four of these producing fewer than three goals.

That makes Under 2.5 goals a massive price to back, while a repeat of Manchester United’s 2-0 win in their last away game at Wigan looks a reasonable outcome.
