๐ Form Guide
Colchester United
DDDLDD โ
Colchester United prepare for this fixture after a 1-1 League Two tied result versus Mansfield Town.
The only name on the scoresheet from Colchester United was Harry Anderson (13'). Lewis Brunt (63') scored for Mansfield Town.
Itโs been a rare occasion in recent games that Colchester United have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Colchester United have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 games, leaking 7 goals on the way.
Their previous form shows that Colchester United:
- have not emerged victorious against Newport County in their previous 3 league games.
- are undefeated in their previous 4 home league matches.
- are without a win at home for the past 5 league games. That's never good.
Newport County
WLLWWL
After a losing effort in their last game against Barrow in League Two competition, Newport County will be aiming to make amends here.
Cole Stockton (20') was the scorer for Barrow.
Looking at their form, and Newport County have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 7 goals in total. In defence, Newport County could really do with shoring things up. That kind of trend isnโt assured to be carried forward here, however.
Taking a look at their past results, Newport County:
- haven't beaten Colchester United when having played them away from home in the previous 2 league matches.
- have not been beaten by Colchester United when having played them away from home in the previous 3 league matches.
