1st Prediction For Newport County vs Morecambe FC: Morecambe FC to win 81/50

Tuesday’s game sees two poor teams face each other after getting a rare league win at the weekend. But, Morecambe’s win was much more convincing than Newport’s in many aspects which should mean that the away side have a good chance of leaving Rodney Parade with all three points. Newport’s win against Barrow came in slightly fortuitous circumstances thanks to a Kyle Cameron own goal in the 70th minute. Nelson Jardim’s side only had four shots compared to Barrow’s 15 and only two of those were on target and goalkeeper Nick Townsend was required to make 5 saves in order to secure victory for his side. Morecambe, on the other hand, had 16 shots and five big chances as they scored four times against Fleetwood Town to secure victory, creating chances from set pieces as well as from open play.

2nd Prediction For Newport County vs Morecambe FC: Morecambe FC to win and both teams to score: yes 4/1

Those looking for a slightly more risky prediction should consider predicting Morecambe FC to win and both teams to score. Morecambe’s defence is one of the worst in the fourth division. They have conceded 1.6 goals per game, the 19th-best in League Two, whilst also conceding the most xG of any team in the fourth tier. Additionally, The Shrimps have only kept three clean sheets in their 28 league games, the least of any team in the league. Newport County’s attack has also been relatively good this season. They have scored in each of their last five games and they average the 13th-most goals per game of any side in the division. This shows that, even though Morecambe may win, it is likely that the home side will find the back of the net at least once during the game.

3rd Prediction For Newport County vs Morecambe FC: Both teams to score: yes 3/5

People looking for a safer prediction may consider predicting both teams to score. As previously mentioned, the Morecambe defence has been far from solid so far this season. But, Newport are one of the five teams who have conceded more goals than their opponents on Saturday. Nelson Jardim’s men have conceded the most goals per match of any side in League Two and they have also conceded the fifth-most xG of any team in the league. In the seven games that the Exiles have played since Christmas Day, they have conceded a whopping 14 goals. Morecambe’s new attacker Andrew Dallas, who scored twice against Fleetwood, will be looking to continue his good start to life in the North-West on Tuesday evening against this leaky defence.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head

On Tuesday night, the teams sitting in 19th and 23rd place respectively face off against each other. But recent results may give both teams a glimmer of hope. Newport County beat fellow strugglers Barrow AFC one-nil in a closely-fought game whilst Morecambe FC produced a much more dominant display to beat Fleetwood Town by four goals to two. As far as league form goes, Morecambe are actually in a relatively good place. They have won two of their last five games which puts them in 12th place in the form table; a five-nil cup drubbing at the hands of Chelsea skewing their stats when looking at their last five games in all competitions. Newport County have won one and drawn one of their last five league games and are currently 18th in the form guide. Nelson Jardim will take confidence from the fact that his side won the match between the two sides at the start of the season by one goals to nil. He will be hoping for another quality performance from goalkeeper Nick Townsend so that the Exiles can emerge victorious on Tuesday.
