After a thorough assessment of the primary betting markets, APWin analysts have identified bets with strong value potential.

👉 Our prediction is: Colchester United to win the 1st half

Colchester United is a tough opponent to face, particularly away from home. They have enough dangerous attacking weapons to deal some damage up front, while the defence is quite solid as well.

It would not be a shock if they come in and give their hosts Newport County a bit of a scare in the early going.

That is why we recommend taking Colchester United to win the first half.

👉 Our prediction is: Draw

Newport County will have the home advantage in this match, and with the quality of their players to the strength of their performances, they will have the upper hand. But even with all that said, our betting tip is to go for a draw in Newport County vs Colchester United.

We just see some flaws that Colchester United can exploit in order to hold the home side to a draw. And with odds of 3.27, the potential payout for a draw is well worth a shot.
