Newport County – Cheltenham

Newport County host Cheltenham in what promises to be a stern test for a side languishing in 20th place with just five points from six games, having managed only one win and two draws while conceding 11 goals. Cheltenham arrive in the Welsh capital on the back of a solid run, sitting fourth in the table with 11 points, three victories and two stalemates and a modest +3 goal difference. The contrast in recent form is stark – Newport have struggled to find the net, scoring just ten times, whereas the visitors have been slightly more prolific with 13 goals. The fixture could prove pivotal for Newport’s survival hopes, while Cheltenham will look to cement their place among the promotion contenders.
