Newport County and York City meet so often that it has become a well-known pairing. They have traded home wins many times, and their last meeting ended in a rout. This time the picture is different, because both teams are playing with a confidence that sets them apart from earlier spells. Newport County are unbeaten in 5 straight matches, and their latest game was a win without conceding. York City, meanwhile, are also unbeaten in 3 straight, but with more draws than wins. The hosts average fewer goals per game, yet they do not concede much either, while the visitors clearly dominate possession and put more shots on target. If York City score first, the game could open up into more of an exchange, because both sides tend to concede late in matches. But if Newport County take the lead first, they will likely drop back, defend and play on the counter, a setup that makes them hard for opponents to break down.
