Match Facts
Newport have lost just one of their eight League Two matches in the last four seasons against Walsall (W2 D5), although that was this exact fixture last season, a 0-1 home defeat.
Walsall have lost just one of their last seven Football League visits to Newport County (W4 D2), a 1-2 defeat in September 2021.
Newport County have lost four of their last five league games (W1), including both of their last two; the Exiles last lost three league matches in a row in October 2022.
No Walsall player has been directly involved in more league goals this season than Isaac Hutchinson (7 – 6 goals, 1 assists), after he scored a hat-trick and assisted another in their 4-1 win over Gillingham last time out. However, of Hutchinson’s 15 goals overall in the Football League, just two have come away from home (13%).
