Recent Form
Across their last 10 games, Notts County have gone 6W 2D 2L — a 2.00 PPG return. Last five: L W D L W. They are averaging 2.30 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 90% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.

They are averaging 2.67 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. Both teams have scored in 100% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Their home PPG of 2.50 is noticeably stronger than their overall 2.00 — Notts County are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.
Newport County — last 10 games: 2W 3D 5L — 0.90 PPG. Last five: L W L L D. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 2.20. Conceding 2.20 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. Both teams have scored in 90% of their matches — a high rate that makes Yes a well-evidenced angle from their form.
Newport County's away record over their last 10 away games: 3W 1D 6L (1.00 PPG). Away from home they average 1.20 goals scored and 2.10 conceded per game.
Notts County carry the stronger recent momentum — 1.10 PPG ahead of their opponents on 2.00 vs 0.90. The form data is a point in their favour, and where the price allows, it is the cleaner directional bet.
In-Play Data
Notts County trading profile (last 14 games, 6 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 100% of their matches in home games; they lead at the break 50% of the time; BTTS occurs in 100% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 100% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 57%.
Newport County trading profile (last 14 games, 6 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 100% of their matches in away games; of the 4 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 50%; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 83% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 50%.
From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Notts County 86% and Newport County 71% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Notts County 71% | Newport County 86%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Notts County 2.45 xG and Newport County 1.66 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Notts County attack 1.292 / defence 1.429 | Newport County attack 0.893 / defence 1.224. League average goals — home 1.550 / away 1.300. Notts County carry an above-average attack rating of 1.292 — their 2.45 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Newport County's defence rating of 1.224 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Notts County's projected output up. Notts County's defence rating of 1.429 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Newport County's projected output up. Data: built from Notts County's last 14 games and Newport County's last 60.
Result probabilities: Notts County 55% | Draw 19% | Newport County 26%. Fair-value odds: Notts County 1.81 | Draw 5.21 | Newport County 3.91. The model has a clear lean to Notts County (55%) — a 29pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 78% | BTTS Yes probability 74% | Total xG 4.11. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 78% — a total xG of 4.11 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 74% — both xG figures (2.45 / 1.66) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Notts County as the most likely outcome at 55% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 19% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
On the goals line, Poisson's 4.11 combined xG gives a 78% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Notts County's last 6 home games and Newport County's last 10 away games) averaging 4.0 goals per game.
Poisson assigns a 74% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Notts County 100% (last 6 home games) | Newport County 50% (last 10 away games).
