Newport County face Colchester United in a League Two game where both sides will be eager to bounce back with a positive result. As both sides seem to struggle up front, we predict a 1-1 draw. Newport head into the match in decent spirits after a 3–1 win over Tranmere, while Colchester suffered a heavy 3–0 defeat to Chesterfield in midweek and travel with injury concerns as Iandolo and Perry remain sidelined. Scoring has been an issue as they net just 0.90 goals per match with a modest 0.88 expected goals (xG).
Colchester’s numbers are somewhat similar. The U's average 1.00 goal scored and conceded per game, while their away form has been poor, earning just 0.80 points per match and scoring only 0.40 goals on the road. Historically, the fixture has been competitive, with Colchester winning 8 of the last 19 meetings, while 79% of those games produced over 1.5 goals.
As both sides struggle in attack recently, we are tempted to place our bets on Under 2.5 goals. Additionally, Half-Time Draw and Draw bets seem tempting.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 7 March 2026 at 15:00.
