Newport County
Match Time & Date:
17/04/2021
04:30 AM
Prediction: 1-1
Cambridge United
There will be fireworks when Newport County and Cambridge United face each other in the League Two derby on Saturday. The Exiles are sitting in the sixth position in the standings ahead of Matchday 42, but all Carlisle, Exeter, and Forest Green are breathing down their neck. Newport are eyeing their 11th home win of the season, but the game against Cambridge will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team.
The Yellows, on the other hand, are determined to secure automatic promotion to the League One. Cambridge head into the match following a 4-1 loss to Exeter, but they are surely capable of matching Newport County behind closed doors. Share of spoils is on the cards at Rodney Parade, and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw.
