Win for Newport

Newport have been quite inconsistent over the last few weeks. The cup action coupled with a difficult round of games in the league have meant that Newport have only picked up one win in the last five matches. The club are 18th in the standings and they are looking to avoid a third consecutive loss against Crawley. The visitors might have managed back-to-back wins over Newport, but they have been on a winless streak that has just hit 10 games on the road.

Total goals under 2.5

The last two outings between Crawley and Newport might have produced over 2.5 goals quite comfortably, but that may not be the case in the upcoming match. Crawley and Newport have been struggling in the final third of the pitch. Both teams have been able to hit only around a goal per game this season.

Both teams to score – yes

There have been goals at both ends of the match in three consecutive games for Newport and Crawley. The intense competitiveness between the two teams is set to continue in the upcoming match as well.

Newport vs Crawley: Preview with Form Analysis and Team News

Newport

Newport head into the game with only one win in the last six meetings against Crawley. Manager Graham Coughlan has failed to inspire the team to a string of victories when he came in as the new boss in the middle of October. Newport might appear to be four points away from the drop zone, but they are only a handful of losses away from dropping into the same.

Crawley

Crawley’s away record continues to remain pathetic and this has been a significant factor behind the team struggling with the fear of relegation throughout the campaign. Crawley have managed a paltry five points from a possible 30 on the road this season. The club have no injury concerns ahead of this upcoming game.
