Newport kept their strong momentum going on the weekend as they put their third straight win on the board in League Two. That still keeps them in touch with the super-competitive play off race. Morecambe didn’t have such a good afternoon on the weekend as they were downed in a defeat out at league leaders Luton. It is another tough road game for them on Tuesday night that they will be facing though.

Newport Form

Newport are humming along now with a three-match winning sequence going and each of their last three games have been won by a 2-1 scoreline and there’s a deeper trend there too. Each of their last four wins in the division have been achieved by that scoreline and five of their twelve league victories this season have been by that scoreline. So a 2-1 correct score for the Exiles at Rodney Parade should be a decent proposition for the game. Overall this season Newport have posted figures of W6 D5 L2 on home soil in League Two and they have scored at least two goals in three of their last four at Rodney Parade. Their defence has stood up well as they are averaging under a goal per game against. There has to be a good chance for them to extend their winning streak in this one.

Morecambe Form

Morecambe pretty much played out what was expected of them on the weekend. They went to defend out at league leaders Luton and came away empty-handed still in a 1-0 loss. Still, they didn’t get stuffed and that helps their goal difference at least. Morecambe have won just two of their last seven League Two games and they have taken only the one clean sheet in that sequence of games as well. So they are going to be a little bit at risk and they are the joint-lowest scorers in the division at the moment. With Chesterfield and Forest Green picking up wins recently, Morecambe are starting to feel a little bit of pressure on them at the moment as they go into this game now only three points clear of safety.

Head to Head News

There was a surprise 2-1 home win for Morecambe over County earlier in the season and it is the Shrimps who are leading the head to head against the Welsh club. Morecambe are 6-2 up with one drawn match between the two of them from all previous meetings, which were all in League Two.
