Cheltenham Town vs Newport County prediction 10.10.2023
Cheltenham Town
Newport County
Contents
- Competition: EFL Trophy
- Date: Tuesday, 10th October 2023
- Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CEST
- Venue: Whaddon Road (Cheltenham)
Cheltenham Town, a League One team, will go head-to-head with Newport County, a League Two team, on Tuesday evening in the EFL Trophy at Whaddon Road in Cheltenham.
Cheltenham Town experienced relatively similar performances in the two seasons following their League One title win in 2020/21, securing 15th and 16th place finishes with 56 and 54 points respectively. However, the ongoing season has been a complete catastrophe. Currently positioned at the bottom of the League One standings, Cheltenham Town undeniably appear to be the frontrunners for relegation to League Two.
Newport County has entered their 11th consecutive season in League Two. Over the past few seasons, we have witnessed a consistent decline in their performance. This year, their start has been one of the worst in recent memory, with The Exiles currently occupying the 19th position after 12 rounds, accumulating a mere 14 points.
Cheltenham Town vs Newport County pick: Newport to win or draw
Cheltenham’s season has been an absolute catastrophe. Out of their 14 games across various competitions, they suffered defeat in 12 matches and are yet to secure a victory. Adding to their misery, they managed to score a meager single goal in 12 League One games, and that solitary goal came against Derby in their last match.
Although Newport’s performance has not been exceptional, they are still far better than Cheltenham. Newport has managed to score 21 goals in their 12 League Two games, albeit against weaker opponents. Nevertheless, the contrast in performance between these two teams has been significant.
Because Cheltenham has had a terrible season thus far and has yet to secure a win, we lack confidence in their ability to defeat even a League Two team like Newport.

Cheltenham Town team news
Cheltenham managed to prevent themselves from becoming the sole English team to go 12 league games without scoring by netting a goal against Derby. They now share this record with Coventry, who also failed to score in 11 matches during the 1919/20 season.
Former Bristol Rovers manager Darrel Clarke was appointed as the new head coach of Cheltenham on 29th September. Since his appointment, The Robins have only managed to secure one point in three games.
Curtis Davies, the team’s captain and top defender, will be sidelined due to suspension following a straight red card received during the Fleetwood match.
Sean Long, a right full-back who commenced the previous match, unfortunately sustained an injury and was forced to exit the game prematurely, within just 18 minutes. It is highly probable that he will be absent for the forthcoming game.

Newport County team news
Coach Graham Coughlan expressed his dissatisfaction with his team following a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Harrogate. He described it as one of the worst performances since joining Newport, stating that they were sabotaging themselves. The coach highlighted their lack of maturity and experience, acknowledging that it was difficult to accept.
Kyle Jameson, James Clarke, Adam Lewis, and Harry Charsley, who were sidelined for the previous matches, will be sorely missed by the team.
