Newport County vs Chesterfield Preview
Friday’s football game between Newport County and Chesterfield will open round 14 of League Two, with the hosts hoping to bounce back from a narrow defeat to Cheltenham. The Exiles lost 1-0 but created chances worth 1.52 expected goals, suggesting they could have taken more from the match. They remain unbeaten at home in the league this season, although Bamba and Dibley-Dias are doubts after picking up knocks at the weekend.
Chesterfield, meanwhile, head into this clash in high spirits after thrashing Crewe 5-1 in midweek. The emphatic victory should restore confidence following some inconsistent results, and the visitors will be eager to carry that attacking momentum into Friday’s encounter. Josh Koroma picked up a knock early against Crewe, but his potential absence is not expected to be a major blow to the Spireites.
Newport’s unbeaten home run deserves respect, but Chesterfield’s recent attacking display makes this a difficult fixture to call. With both teams scoring in 80% of Chesterfield’s last ten matches, our betting tips are Chesterfield to Win, Over 2.5 goals and Both teams to score.
This League 2 match will be played on Friday, 30 October 2026 at 19:45 in Rodney Parade, Newport, Wales.
