Yeovil continues to be a side which are pretty hit and miss and they have only collected the one victory in their last seven league outings now. But they are at least keeping their heavy above water but they have the second-worst defence in the division. Newport will be licking their lips at taking on a side who concede plenty as they look to bounce back from a defeat against Luton last weekend which saw them slip back a bit towards mid-table. Newport are 3/4 odds-on to pick up the win, with the Glovers at 10/3.

Newport
Yeovil TownNewport Form
The Exiles have been strong at home this season only having dropped the two points at Rodney Parade and they will be expected to come out on top in this one as well. They have taken a clean sheet in each of their last three home games, having conceded just the one goal in their four games there this season. So they can probably be trusted to go out and win to nil. They aren’t particularly a free-scoring side but should have enough to collect maximum points here. Three of their five league wins this term have been by a 1-0 scoreline and four of them by a one-goal margin.
Yeovil Form
Yeovil can’t match up to the form of Newport, as they have just one win in their last seven played in the league. But they have gone W1 D3 L3 so have been collecting points here and there. Their away form doesn’t make great reading though with a W1 L4 record away from home, but that lone win did come in their last away game, a 3-2 win at Chesterfield. While they have scored in all but one of their away games this season, they have shipped 18 goals on the road at a rate of an average of 3.6 goals per away game.
Head to Head News
This will be just the fifth game between the two clubs and three of those four have ended in a 1-0 scoreline, two of them in Yeovil’s favour. The other was a 0-0 draw so there haven’t been many goals around between these two. This corresponding fixture last season ended in a win for Newport which means that they are W1 D1 at home against the Glovers with no goals conceded.
Top Betting Tips
Newport to win to nil is going to have appeal in this one, just because they are a pretty sound defensive unit and a Yeovil are just too unconvincing to back to go and collect a win at Rodney Parade. Home win and there’s appeal on it being by a 1-0 scoreline too.
