Colchester United welcome Newport County in a League Two clash, aiming to recover from a 4-3 defeat at Salford. Given Colchester's solid defence, we predict a 1-0 home win. The U's have been inconsistent, averaging 1.4 points per game, scoring 1.4 goals and conceding 1.1. Home form is slightly weaker, with 1.17 points per game, but they keep clean sheets in 50% of home matches. Forward Adrian Akande remains doubtful, though Colchester still possess enough attacking options.
Newport County, on the other hand, have been struggling of late, with the team collecting just 0.6 points per game overall. The Exiles have scored 1.1 goals per game but conceded 2.0, with only 10% clean sheets. Their away form is slightly better than home, but injuries to Garner and Opoku could limit their defensive stability as well as Michael Spellman's suspension.
As Newport County head into Saturday's game with a severely-weakened squad, our prediction points toward a Home Win, with additional value on Under 3.5 (94% H2H) and Under 2.5 goals (61%).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 20 December 2025 at 15:00.
