Match description
I back the away win (2). Harrogate have the superior form: in the last 5 matches they scored 8 goals and won 2 games, averaging 1.2 points per match, whereas Newport scored only 3 goals and won 1 of their last five, averaging 0.6 points per match. Away, Harrogate average 0.95 goals scored and 1.33 conceded with xG for 1.05 and xG against 1.87, and their conversion rate is 11% versus Newport’s 8% at home; additionally, the visitors fail to score in 29% of matches compared to 43% for the hosts. Newport at home register higher possession (50%), more shots (11.29 per game) and a higher xG (1.25), but concede on average 1.62 goals per match and have a negative home goal difference (-15), which limits their home advantage. Considering the better efficiency (11% vs 8%), lower share of goalless games (29% vs 43%) and clearly superior numbers in the last 5 matches, I assess a 45% chance for the away win, 30% for the home win and 25% for a draw.
