Recent respective form guides

Newport County have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. The Exiles's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.

Cambridge U.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the U's have hit 7 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Newport Co. find themselves in a respectable 8th position, courtesy of the 46 points they have accumulated from 33 games. Cambridge U. find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 37 points from their 34 matches.
