What does the recent head-to-head record look like?

Brighton have played Newport 66 times in their history, but have only faced the Welsh side once since 1966.

That meeting also came in a cup competition, with County causing an upset by ousting Albion from the League Cup with a surprise 3-1 upset back in 2013.

More recently, Brighton’s U21s played the Exiles in December of 2019, drawing 0-0 before being beaten on penalties.
