Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Hayden Mullins readies his troops ahead of kick-off, our prediction is for a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the match. Statistics imply both teams have the weapons to deliver up top, an encouraging sign for the neutrals. As there is no outright, odds-on favourite to win the game, we really like the look of over 2.5 goals.

Goal Statistics

Newport County's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Colchester United have conceded in each of their last 5 League Two games. A PG of 1.9 for H. Mullins's side suggests that run should continue.

Newport County's defensive record is very strong, H. Mullins's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive League Two matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for Colchester United makes sense in this context.
