Salford City have not won any of their 3 matches this season, scoring just 1 and conceding 5, while Newport County have scored 8 goals in 3 matches, despite conceding 7. The numbers suggest the away side have more weapons, and in the last 6 meetings, 4 have ended with one side winning by 2 or more goals. In this game, Newport County are likely to have more possession and create chances consistently, while Salford City, on a 3-match losing run, may have to sit deep and wait for counter-attacks. But with a defense that concedes a high 27% of goals in the late stages, the risk of conceding more during the 76-90 minute period remains high, and that is the period when Newport County have scored the most, with 34% of their total goals this season.
