Match Preview
As Newport County prepares to host Notts County at Rodney Parade on Saturday, both teams enter the match with contrasting fortunes. Newport's recent form has been troubling, with four losses in their last five outings, while Notts County managed a draw in their last match but have struggled overall, recording just one win in their last five. The stakes are high for both sides as they seek to improve their standings in League Two.
A key angle to consider is Newport's home advantage, historically reflected in their head-to-head record against Notts County, where they have won four of the last ten encounters at home. Additionally, with six of those matches seeing over 2.5 goals and five featuring both teams scoring, there’s a strong likelihood of an open game. The odds suggest a tight contest, but backing both teams to score at 1.73 could be a prudent choice, considering both sides' defensive vulnerabilities and the attacking potential they possess.
