Cheltenham vs Newport County Preview
Cheltenham Town and Newport County face each other at Whaddon Road in what promises to be an exciting League Two game, with 2-2 our predicted outcome. The Robins head into this game looking to build on their 2–1 win over Gillingham, but with safety already secured, their motivation may not be at peak levels. Their recent form has been steady (1.40 PPG), and they’ve been particularly entertaining to watch, with matches averaging 3.10 total goals.
Newport County, by contrast, have far more at stake as they aim to create distance from the relegation zone. The Exiles arrive in decent spirits after a 2–1 win over Harrogate, though defender Joe Thomas is a doubt after picking up a knock. Their recent form (1.30 PPG) is similar to Cheltenham’s, but their away games tend to be open, with BTTS landing in 75% of those matches and 1.50 goals conceded per game.
The head-to-head record also supports goals, with 61% BTTS across 18 meetings. Therefore, Both Teams to Score is our main betting tip, alongside Over 2.5 goals (Cheltenham’s matches average over 3.00 goals, suggesting another open contest), and Draw.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday, 18 April 2026 at 15:00.
