First Prediction For Accrington Stanley vs Newport County: Match Result – Newport County – 3/1
Both these sides are in fairly poor form, though Accrington Stanley recorded successive wins in September against Colchester United and Milton Keynes Dons. But 3 successive defeats in all competitions since have left Accy with just 9 points from their opening 10 games.
But their visitors to the Wham Stadium are in even worse form, with 8 defeats from their last 9 league games. Their 3 most recent losses have though come against promotion-chasing sides, and the Exiles recorded a memorable victory against Cardiff City on Tuesday evening.
With Newport’s fixture list beginning to look easier, on paper at least, expect David Hughes’ side to finally record their second victory of the season.
Second Prediction For Accrington Stanley vs Newport County: Under 1.5 Goals – 9/4
Newport have shipped 10 goals away from South Wales this season, but managed to finally keep their first clean sheet of the campaign at Cardiff City in the Vertu Trophy in midweek. Only Cheltenham Town have conceded more across all venues this term.
Despite Stanley’s poor league positioning, they have fared much better defensively, conceding only 13 times in 10 games. At home, only 5 teams have conceded fewer than their figure of 5. Therefore, expect a low-scoring game, with likely only a single goal scored.
Third Prediction For Accrington Stanley vs Newport County: Both Teams To Score – No – 10/11
Accrington have only played 4 home games this season, but have managed to find the net in each game thus far. Nevertheless, their tally of 7 goals is the second-worst record in the fourth tier this season.
Similarly, Newport have managed to find the net in 4 of their 5 games on the road. With 5 goals away from home, that is an average tally in League Two. But, they have outscored their opponents across all venues this term, and expect the Exiles to be the only side on the scoresheet on Saturday.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head:
Accrington have endured a miserable start to the League Two campaign, with their only 2 victories coming in back-to-back September outings. Stanley have fared slightly better in the Carabao Cup, having to win 2 games to reach the 2nd Round before bowing out against Doncaster Rovers. But in the Vertu Trophy, Accy have taken 1 point from their 2 outings to date.
Nevertheless, those 2 league wins came against Colchester United and Milton Keynes Dons, showing what can happen if Stanley get it right. Unfortunately, taking 1 point from games against Cheltenham Town and Shrewsbury Town showed the other side of the coin. And further losses in the league to Walsall and Barnet followed those successive victories.
Losing at Port Vale on Tuesday evening in the EFL Trophy was their third loss in succession in all competitions, which has also seen Stanley fall to 20th place. It’s a tough end to October for John Doolan’s outfit, hosting high-flying Swindon Town next weekend before facing local rivals Fleetwood Town. A rearranged game against Tranmere Rovers comes at the end of the month.
If the hosts’ start has been poor, then Newport have fared even worse. Appointing David Hughes in the summer, his reign got off to a good start with 4 points from their opening 6 on offer. But, their only positive result in the league since was a draw against Tranmere Rovers.
Defeated early in September by Bristol Rovers, Newport were yet to be blown away by a side. That was until heavier losses against Gillingham and Chesterfield, conceding 7 in the process. But, after losing against Swindon Town on Saturday, they picked up a stunning result at Cardiff City in midweek.
The Exiles will be hoping to use that result to help turn their season around, with 4 successive losses in all competitions before defeating their local rivals. That should be helped by a more favourable fixture list in the next couple of weeks, hosting fellow strugglers Cheltenham Town next weekend. October ends at Harrogate Town, with a trip to Shrewsbury Town also on the cards next month.
First meeting in the EFL in 2013, Accrington have won 4 times compared with Newport’s 6 victories in 14 meetings. But, Stanley have won 3 of the last 4 encounters, including a resounding 5-0 victory back in March. That was the 3rd time in that period they have scored 3+ goals.
