Colchester vs Newport Predictions and Match Preview

Relegation threatened Colchester United will have to dig deep to ensure they do not fall into the red zone for the rest of the season.

• Colchester are winless in 8 straight games. They have shared points 6 times with their opponents.
• Newport have only three clean sheets in ten games.
• Both teams have conceded 11 plus goals in their last 10 outings.

Colchester’s poor run of games is the main reason why they are just one point above relegation spots. They come into this tie with just one win and a clean sheet in ten games. This shaky form might cost them their League Two status if they do not start muscling wins out in the remaining games. Their attackers will need to step up their game as defensively they have conceded 11 goals in ten games averaging one per game.

For Newport County, it has been a constant run of inconsistency. They cannot accumulate a streak of wins which is costing them a place in the promotion play off as they are only 4 points from it. The narrow 1-0 loss to Barrow last time despite winning two games on the bounce has set them back in their pursuit for promotion. They have to return to winning games to keep the hopes alive.

Colchester vs Newport Head-to head

The last time these two met ended in drama and goals. Colchester got a red while Newport did a comeback after going down early in the game. In their last 10 games, Newport lead in the H2H with 5 wins and 3 draws.

The fixture has also made lots of goals in it. A total of 23 goals were scored in their 10 past ties.

Colchester United vs Newport County Prediction

Colchester are in the worst form between both sides. No wins in 8 straight games and 4 draws in their last 4 home games, they have to break the winning jinx if they want to survive relegation. Newport’s promotion chase can also only be possible by a continuous winning of games which they do not have.

However, Newport can take initiative to get a win here and increase their chances of a promotion play off. Considering how poor the attack of Colchester is, they will fancy getting a goal and taking maximum points. So, we tip Newport to win or draw this game.

For a second pick, we will go for Under 3.5 goals at full time at 1.60 odds. Newport have scored a total 7 goals in their last three games while Colchester are struggling to score goals.
