Newport County face a test of their recent resilience away to Cheltenham Town in League Two this Saturday. The Exiles head to Whaddon Road on an unbeaten run of five matches, a sequence that has lifted them to 12th place in the table with 15 points from 12 games, having recorded three wins, six draws and three losses so far this season. Their next fixture is away to Cheltenham Town on Saturday 24 October, with kick-off at 3pm.

That recent form reads one win and four draws, a run that began with a 1-0 victory over Colchester United earlier this month. The most recent outing was a 2-2 draw away to Rotherham United last Tuesday, where Harrison Biggins and Gerard Garner scored to secure a point. Garner's 54th-minute equaliser that day was his second goal in three games. The team's goal minutes this season show they have scored 16 goals while conceding 15, giving them a positive goal difference of one. This run of one win and four draws in their last five games includes the 2-2 draw at Rotherham on Tuesday 20 October, a 1-1 home draw with York on Saturday 17 October, the 1-0 win over Colchester, a 2-2 draw with Plymouth and a 0-0 draw at Gillingham.

Recent Form

The Robins have lost three of their last five matches across all competitions, including a 4-1 defeat at Oldham and a 2-0 home loss to Salford City. Their sole win in that period was a 4-2 home victory over Fleetwood Town last Tuesday, a result that leaves them fifth in the standings ahead of this weekend's clash.

Team News and Key Players

Newport County's last starting lineup featured a 3-4-1-2 formation with Wright in goal and a back three of Jenkins, Cameron and Joe Thomas. The attacking pair of Garner and Biggins were supported by midfielder Adu-Poku in the number ten role.

Cheltenham's most recent side lined up in a 4-1-4-1 shape against Fleetwood, with veteran forward Weimann leading the line. The midfield included experienced campaigners like Shipley and McCann, who will provide a stern test in the centre of the park.

With that positive goal difference of one after scoring 16 and conceding 15 this season, County's defensive solidity has been a foundation for their unbeaten streak. The team is ten points behind league leaders Salford City, but the focus is firmly on continuing their momentum at Whaddon Road.

The match kicks off at 3pm on Saturday 24 October.
