Our Newport vs Colchester predictions and betting tips are below, with Anthony Eadson’s best bets and score prediction.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs Newport’s in-form forward.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Shaquille Gwengwe to score anytime | 27/10 (Ladbrokes) | Shaquille Gwengwe has been Newport’s go-to man, scoring five goals in nine games as the Exiles have stayed unbeaten at Rodney Parade. Home form has been the backbone of their season, with eight goals scored in front of their own fans. Colchester have been poor on the road, taking two draws and two defeats without ever winning, so Gwengwe should find openings. At 27/10 about a forward in this kind of touch, the anytime market stands out as the way into the game at Rodney Parade. |
| Newport County and both teams to score | 15/4 (10bet) | Newport are unbeaten at home and should have too much for a Colchester side that has yet to win on the road. The Exiles are far from watertight, though, and Colchester do carry a threat, which points to a home win in which the visitors also score rather than a clean-sheet stroll. Recent meetings have favoured Colchester, but current form at Rodney Parade tells a different story. The 15/4 about Newport winning with both teams scoring captures the likely shape of the game. |
