What to expect

We expect about 1.4 goals from Cheltenham and 1.2 from Newport County, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.6 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Cheltenham come into this on three straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Cheltenham or Draw. This covers Cheltenham or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 71 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.35, which works out at about 74 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
✓Cheltenham have won one of their last five.
✓Newport County are unbeaten in their last five — three wins and two draws.
✓Two of the last four meetings finished under 2.5 goals.
✓Both teams scored in one of the last four meetings.
