✍️ Match Preview
Analysis & Preview
A League Two encounter, Regular Season - 11 sees York travel to Rodney Parade to take on Newport County. The game is scheduled for Saturday 17 October 2026, 14:00 UTC.
Form Analysis
Looking at all fixtures this season, Newport County stand at 3W 4D 3L from 10 League Two matches — 1.30 PPG. Last five: D D W D W. They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 1.20 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. This season is still relatively young for Newport County, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Newport County's form when playing at home: 6W 2D 2L across 10 games at Rodney Parade this term (2.00 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.50 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. Their home PPG of 2.00 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.30 — Newport County are significantly better at Rodney Parade than their overall form suggests.
York — All Games: 4W 3D 2L from 9 League Two fixtures this season — 1.67 PPG. Last five: D W L W D. They are scoring at 1.89 per game and conceding 1.22. 2 clean sheets from 9 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 67% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. This season is still relatively young for York, so this record blends games from this season and last.
When travelling in League Two this season, York have posted 0W 2D 2L from 4 away outings — 0.50 PPG. Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 1.75 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 75% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 0.50 is notably below their overall 1.67 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
There is minimal separation in the form figures — Newport County at 1.30 PPG versus York's 1.67. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.
In-Play Profile
Newport County in-play tendencies (9 games, 4 at home): they score before half-time in 50% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; BTTS occurs in 75% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games); they fail to score in 33% of games.
York in-play tendencies (9 games, 4 at away): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in away games; BTTS occurs in 75% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 25% of games (away games).
From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Newport County 56% and York 67% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Newport County 44% | York 56%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Newport County 1.68 xG and York 0.80 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: Newport County attack 1.069 / defence 0.956 | York attack 0.818 / defence 1.165. League average goals — home 1.349 / away 1.024. Data: 56 Newport County games / 9 York games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Newport County 57% | Draw 27% | York 16%. Fair-value odds: Newport County 1.75 | Draw 3.70 | York 6.25. The model has a clear lean to Newport County (57%) — a 41pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 45% | BTTS probability 46% | Total xG 2.48. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 55% — total xG of 2.48 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 46% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Newport County as the most likely outcome at 57% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 27% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
Poisson projects 2.48 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 45% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 46%. This conflicts with form data: Newport County 50% | York 75% from recent games — a notable divergence.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Newport County and York finished level at 1-1 at Rodney Parade, Regular Season - 11, in the League Two. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Newport County 1.68 xG and York 0.80 xG, a combined 2.48. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Newport County attack 1.07 / defence 0.96 against York attack 0.82 / defence 1.17, drawn from 56/9 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Newport County 57% | Draw 27% | York 16%, with Newport County to win its most likely call at 57%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 27%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 45%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 73% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 46% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Newport County 44%, York 56%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 61%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Newport County's trading profile (9 games, 4 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here.
York's trading profile (9 games, 4 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 67% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
On form, York arrived the stronger side — 1.67 PPG against 1.11. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss), form (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
