The season is almost over and Newport's chances for the playoffs are almost gone now. They need the three points here and even then, it may not be enough.

Total Goals – Under 2.5

Four of the last five games of Newport ended with less than 2.5 goals. In fact, the team scored only two goals in their last five fixtures, which is the main reason why they fell out of the playoff zone and now have three games to fight their way up again. Colchester have been improving at the end of the season but they still have loads of games where they don't even score goals.

Match Result – Newport

It is curious but Colchester's recent results have been better than Newport's but we still expect the hosts to win this match. Colchester have nothing to fight for at this point and it is surprising to see them win so many games in the recent couple of months. Newport are in desperate need of points and will go all in into this match.

Newport vs Colchester: Form, Recent Games, and News

Newport Preview

Newport were one of the strongest teams for a while and we had expectations that we will see them as a strong promotion contender. Their recent results put them three points behind all the other teams that are in the promotion race and with three games left to play, their chances are minimal. They have actually had one of the three strongest attacks this season but their defense is the main issue that kept them from being near the top.

Colchester Preview

Colchester were in the relegation battle throughout the entire season and managed to get away from that zone only recently. Their attack is weak and their defense needs solid improvements before the next season but at least they saved themselves.
