Newport County aim to extend their seven-game unbeaten run when they host York City at Rodney Parade on Saturday. Manager Hayden Mullins said his players should be full of confidence as they prepare for the League Two fixture.
The Exiles sit 12th in the table with 13 points from their opening 10 matches. Their recent form of three wins and two draws from the last five games has lifted them into mid-table.
Recent form and unbeaten run
That strong sequence includes a 1-0 home win over Colchester United last weekend, secured by a late Tanatswa Nyakuhwa goal. It was a third victory at Rodney Parade this season, contributing to an overall record of three wins, four draws and three defeats. The team has scored 13 goals and conceded 12.
Mullins, the Newport County boss, believes the squad is in a good place. He said the performance against Colchester was a platform to build on. The Amber Army are eager to get behind the team again this weekend.
Fixture details and opponent context
The match against York is scheduled for a 3pm kick-off on Saturday, October 17. York City arrive as newly promoted opponents and currently sit fifth in the League Two standings. This presents a significant test for Newport County's home form.
