Prediction: 1-2
Exeter
Rodney Parade will host Tuesday’s League Two game between Newport County and Exeter City, the two promotion-chasing sides. The Exiles aim to regain their spot in top three, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Grecians. Newport County failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Southend United, and, to make things even worse for Michael Flynn’s troops, midfielder Matthew Dolan suffered an injury.
Exeter City, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating both Stevenage and Bradford City in the previous two league fixtures. The Exiles aim to regain their spot in top three, and they should take advantage of Newport County’s current form. The attacking partnership of Jay – Bowman has been in a perfect working order of late, which is yet another reason why away win should be considered.

Thomas Lloyd King is a professional footballer who plays for Newport County as a goalkeeper. Born in Plymouth, England, on March 9, 1995, Tom King played for the likes of Manchester 62, Portsmouth, and Crystal Palace during his youth career.
