Chesterfield
Chesterfield have been rock solid at the Technique Stadium this term, where Cook has overseen two wins and two draws in their four outings. This consistency sets the stage for our Chesterfield vs Newport County FC preview.
Newport County
- Newport County FC have failed to win their last five games (D2, L3), including a 1-3 home loss to Gillingham last time out.
- In contrast, Newport have struggled on the road, with one win, one draw and two defeats from four trips. This creates the backdrop for the Chesterfield vs Newport County FC prediction ahead of their clash on Saturday.
Head-to-Head
Chesterfield have won each of the last two League Two H2H meetings including a 2-1 victory six months ago.
Key Players
- Armando Dobra has been the danger man for the home team, topping their League Two scoring charts with four goals in nine games.
- Kai Whitmore has been an exciting addition to the Newport attack with two goals in six League Two appearances so far, while Nathaniel Opoku has also chipped in with two of the County’s last five.
Betting Insights
- Chesterfield are a very tough bet at -285 to take the win here, but they really do deserve to be such clear favourites given their dominance on home soil so far and the fact that Newport have never won at the venue. Among the Chesterfield vs Newport County FC betting tips, backing the hosts is strongly supported by recent trends.
- The Over 2.5 goals option also appeals at -166 given the goals that Chesterfield are scoring at home (1.75 per game on average) and the ones that Newport are conceding away (1.5 per away League Two game).
Prediction
With Newport in 22nd and looking poor, the 6th-placed hosts should have enough about them to come away with three points .
