Draw

Just when it seemed that Stevenage would be pushing for a spot at the top of the table, the team has gone through a string of poor results. There have been two defeats for the club in the last three matches. A worrying sign for Stevenage will be the defensive performance of the team. Even though Newport have been able to register back-to-back wins, they were far from impressive in the latest success over a Barrow. It required a sending off for the opposition coupled with an injury time goal. This prediction expects a stalemate in the upcoming game.

Total goals less than 2.5

There have been more than 2.5 goals in three out of the last four matches for Stevenage. This is not the kind of form that the team would have been hoping for in the race to catch Leyton Orient at the top. Newport did not create too many chances against Barrow and they are unlikely to get much joy against the second placed team from the division. The recent encounter between the two clubs ended as a narrow 1-0 win and this prediction would back more of the same.

Both teams to get a goal – yes

Newport are likely to take some level of confidence into this match. This prediction expects Stevenage’s defence to be much improved compared with the recent matches, but they may not be as solid as before.

Newport vs Stevenage Match Preview, Analysis, and Latest Team News

Newport

Newport have been able to move up to 18^th place in the table following the recent successes. However, the team will have to keep one eye on the relegation zone considering that teams like Gillingham and Hartlepool have been able to pick up a decent number of results of late. Newport have recently welcomed back James Clarke from a long-term injury concern.

Stevenage

Stevenage are likely to back heavily on the form shown by Jamie Reid in order to get them out of trouble. Even though the club has three games in hand over Leyton Orient, the current vein of form puts them in a dangerous spot. Reid comes into the game with three goals in his recent five matches.
