Bookies Expecting Cambridge to Triumph

The bookies have Cambridge United as -204 favourites for this League Two clash, with the Full-Time Result betting odds implying that they are 67% likely to win. Newport County are the underdogs at +525 which implies a lesser percentage prospect of winning.

It sometimes pays to go down the Half-Time Result route and the draw is available at +132. Alternatively, Cambridge can be backed at +108 and Newport are on offer at +480.

The current odds reflect that there’s not much between Over 2.5 Goals and Under 2.5 Goals. A fresh approach might involve siding with a BTTS wager and there’s -147 on offer for Both Teams to Score No.
