Newport County – League Two Form and Betting Odds

Newport County return to Rodney Parade looking to bounce back from Saturday’s narrow 1-0 defeat against Cheltenham Town. The Exiles had previously gone four league matches unbeaten. However, they’ve now managed just one victory in their last five league fixtures (D3, L1).
Home form has been a major positive for Newport this season, with the hosts unbeaten in their opening six League Two matches at Rodney Parade (W3, D3).
Newport can also take encouragement from the most recent meeting between these clubs, having beaten Chesterfield 2-1 here in January, the hosts can be backed with William Hill at 12/5.

Chesterfield – League Two Form and Betting Odds

Chesterfield arrive in South Wales following an emphatic 5-1 victory over Crewe Alexandra last weekend. Paul Cook’s side raced into a five-goal lead before half-time, three points that moved the Spireites into seventh place in League Two, having collected 19 points from their opening 13 fixtures.
Goals have been a regular feature of Chesterfield’s performances this season, with the visitors scoring 23 times in their opening 13 league matches. That works out at almost two goals per game, although defensive performances have been less convincing. The Spireites have conceded 17 goals and kept just two clean sheets during that period.
However, Chesterfield have struggled for consistency on their travels, winning just two of their opening six away league fixtures (D1, L3). The visitors will be hoping to improve that record and can be backed at EVS with William Hill.
