Our prediction for this match: Cheltenham 2 - 2 Newport County
Cheltenham vs Newport County Preview
Whaddon Road will be the venue when Cheltenham Town host Newport County in League Two round 13, with the Robins hoping to build on their entertaining 4-2 win over Fleetwood. That victory ended a three-game losing streak and should give the hosts a timely confidence boost, while Shaun McWilliams returns from suspension to strengthen their midfield options. Cheltenham have averaged 2.00 goals scored per home game, but their defensive record remains a concern, having conceded 1.83 goals per match on their own turf.
Newport County, meanwhile, are unbeaten in seven consecutive League Two matches after sharing the spoils in a 2-2 draw with Rotherham in midweek. The Exiles have been particularly solid defensively, conceding just 0.80 goals per game across their last ten matches and only 0.60 per away game. However, their attacking output on the road has been limited to 0.80 goals per match, and they have failed to score in 60% of their last five away outings. Experienced forward Christian Doidge remains sidelined, but Newport have no fresh injury concerns ahead of this trip.
Cheltenham have seen goals at both ends in 83% of their home matches, while their latest 4-2 victory suggests they can pose a threat going forward. Therefore, Both Teams to Score is our main betting tip, alongside Over 1.5 goals and Half-Time Draw.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday, 24 October 2026 at 12:30.
