Colchester United - Newport County predictions and free betting tips [29/03/2024]

We continue to bet on English football. In the upcoming League 2 round, "Colchester United" and "Newport" will meet at the "Colchester Community" stadium. 

“Colchester”

"Colchester" have been in League 2 for already 8 seasons straight. The first half of this period they showed decent results, occupying places in the top ten. However, in recent years their game has considerably weakened, now they are struggling for survival. They are currently in 22nd place in the league table.

After the draw with "Sutton United" (1:1) they drew with "Salford" (1:1). In the next round they suffered a defeat from "Barrow" (0:2). Then they had a draw with "Walsall" (1:1). While in their last match they drew with "Mansfield" (1:1).

“Newport County”

Over the past 10 years, the team has firmly established itself in League 2, only once getting the opportunity to participate in the playoff for promotion to League 1. Mostly they stay in the middle of the league table. They are currently in 11th place.

In the 35th round, the team lost to "Mansfield" by a minimal score. After this, they suffered a defeat from "Stockport" (0:1). Then, the guys won against "Morecambe" in a high-scoring meeting with the score (5:3). In the next game they claimed a victory over "Wimbledon" (2:0). However, in their last match they lost to "Barrow" by a narrow margin.

Head-to-Head

The last head-to-head meeting of "Newport" and "Colchester" occurred on 3rd October 2023 and ended with a score of (2:1) in favour of "Newport".

Prediction

In this confrontation, I would take a risk and place a bet on zero handicap for the away team. "Colchester" have had nothing but failures in recent matches, mainly draws. "Newport", on the other hand, alternates between victories and losses, but they only lose to the season's favourites. Against middle-of-the-pack teams, they win, so most likely they will be able to succeed in this match.

Total Prediction

I think that the teams will be able to have a high-scoring game, so I would suggest betting on a total of over 2.5.
