Newport County
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Scunthorpe
Rodney Parade will host Tuesday’s postponed fixture between Newport County and Scunthorpe United. The Exiles are determined to book their place in the playoffs, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Iron. Newport County produced a fine display in a goalless draw with Exeter City, and it should come as no surprise they are seen as favourites to win the midweek clash. You should bear in mind that the Exiles are after their 12th home win of the season.
The Iron, on the other hand, are on a four-match losing run in the League Two. Despite their dreadful form, Scunthorpe United are still six points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that they are on the right track to secure the survival. Anyhow, the hosts want this win more than the visitors, and we predict that Michael Flynn’s men are going to prove their worth on the field.
