Prediction: 0-1
Carlisle
Tuesday’s football game at Rodney Parade pits together Newport County and Carlisle United. Newport just can’t find their best form in 2021, and it is no wonder the odds for away win have been dropping. The Exiles failed to win the previous seven league fixtures, meaning that the lack of confidence is likely to prove to be a big problem for them in the midweek clash.
The Cumbrians, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Walsall. Carlisle United are eager to secure promotion to the League One, and given Newport’s current form, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. In the first half off the season Carlisle United defeated Newport County 3-2, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself. Midfielder Joss Labadie is banned for the hosts.

Founded in May 1904, Carlisle United are a professional football club that have one of the biggest stadiums in the League 2.
