Cheltenham TownNo absentees
Newport CountyNo absentees
Our Cheltenham Town vs Newport County predictions focus on a League Two clash between a Cheltenham side chasing automatic promotion and a Newport team that has drawn half its games this season. Goals are the theme at a ground where the hosts have found the net freely. Kick-off at Whaddon Road is 12.30pm on Saturday.
Cheltenham sit fifth and score for fun at home, but they have yet to keep a clean sheet all season. Newport are hard to beat and awkward opponents, so both ends could be busy on a lively afternoon in Gloucestershire.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has gone through the card at Whaddon Road and settled on two bets, led by Cheltenham’s leading scorer.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Charlie McCann To Score Anytime | 10/3 (Ladbrokes) | Charlie McCann has quietly become Cheltenham’s most important attacker, top-scoring with seven goals in 11 appearances from an advanced midfield role. That record makes 10/3 for him to score anytime look a tempting price, especially against a Newport defence that has conceded 10 goals in six away games this term. Cheltenham have scored 13 at Whaddon Road already and their fixtures rarely stay quiet, with 43 goals flying in across their 12 matches. McCann is heavily involved around the box and arrives in the area as well as anyone at the club, so he is a logical pick to find the net here. |
| Over 2.5 goals | 9/10 (bet365) | Cheltenham Town games have rarely been quiet. Nine of their 12 League Two matches have produced three or more goals, and both teams have scored in 10 of them, with Cheltenham conceding 22 to go with the 21 they have scored. Newport County have gone over 2.5 goals in half of their 12 games and have conceded 10 in six away matches. With Charlie McCann among the division’s top scorers and the Cheltenham defence so open, bet365’s 9/10 on at least three goals stands out. |

How Cheltenham Town go into the game
Cheltenham Town have made a bright start, sitting fifth on 18 points from 12 games and firmly in the automatic promotion picture. Goals are rarely in short supply, with the Robins scoring 21 and conceding 22, and they have not kept a single clean sheet all season. Their last five have been boom or bust: a 4-2 home win over Fleetwood Town and a 2-1 home win over Chesterfield either side of three straight defeats.
At Whaddon Road they are a real handful, with four wins from six home games and 13 goals scored on their own patch. The flip side is a leaky defence that has conceded in every outing, so while they are fancied to beat Newport, few of their games pass without goals at both ends.
How Newport County go into the game
Newport County come into this 12th on 15 points from 12 matches, a solid if unspectacular start shaped by six draws. The Exiles have lost just three times all season and go into the weekend on the back of two wins in their last five, though three draws in that run hint at a side that struggles to kill games off.
The away form is a clear concern. Newport are without a win on their travels, drawing three and losing three of their six road games while scoring just six times. A tight 0-0 at Gillingham aside, they have found goals hard to come by on the road, and Cheltenham’s attacking home record makes this a stern test.
Cheltenham Town vs Newport County head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|

| 18/10/25 | Newport County | 0-2 | Cheltenham Town |
| 22/02/25 | Newport County | 0-3 | Cheltenham Town |
| 10/08/24 | Cheltenham Town | 3-2 | Newport County |
| 01/05/21 | Newport County | 1-0 | Cheltenham Town |
Cheltenham will take real confidence from recent meetings with Newport, having won four of the last five, including a 1-0 at Whaddon Road last April and heavy 2-0 and 3-0 wins at Rodney Parade. Newport’s sole victory in that sequence came back in May 2021.
