Newport County will be looking to extend their unbeaten League Two run when they welcome Colchester after playing out a goalless draw with Gillingham at the weekend. The Exiles have shown signs of improvement recently and will fancy their chances against struggling opposition. There are no fresh injury concerns for the hosts, while Lee Jenkins is expected to return to the starting XI after featuring off the bench in the EFL Cup defeat to Plymouth.
The U’s, meanwhile, are desperate to turn their fortunes around after going seven games without a win in all competitions. Moses Seasey will be one to watch after scoring twice in the 2-2 draw with Shrewsbury, but Colchester’s away form remains a major concern, with the visitors conceding 2.40 goals per game on their recent trips.
Newport look better placed to take advantage of Colchester’s defensive weaknesses, although Seasey’s recent performance gives the visitors hope. With both teams capable of finding the net, Newport to Win, over 2.5 goals and Both Teams to Score are the best betting option for this matchup.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 10 October 2026 at 15:00.
