Colchester United, Recent FormColchester United will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Mansfield Town with a 1-1 draw and a valuable point.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've conceded a goal in each of their last 14 home games.
Having drawn their last 4 league games at home and having not won any of their last 5, The U's will be keen to grab all 3 points in this fixture.
Newport County, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Newport County players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Barrow.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 11, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Newport recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Will Evans will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 20 goals in Newport County's 39 league games this season.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Colchester United who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-1 to Newport County.
The Newport defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit The U's in the league, with Newport conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing away from home, Newport have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Colchester. Playing away from home, Newport have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Colchester.
When playing at home in the league, Colchester have failed to win any of their last 3 meetings with Newport, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
With no real injury worries, Colchester manager Danny Cowley will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Newport manager Graham Coughlan has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
