Newport County
Northampton Town and Newport County face each other at Sixfields Stadium in the League Two round 31 in what is expected to be a close encounter. The Cobblers aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Walsall, and you should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last six league fixtures. Both Joseph Mills and Sid Nelson are sidelined with injuries for the home team.
The Exiles, on the other hand, are eyeing automatic promotion to the League One as well. Aneurin Livermore is widely expected to return to Newport’s starting XI, as well as Timmy Abraham. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Sixfields Stadium as the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment. In the first half of the season the Cobblers defeated the Exiles thanks to Jon Guthrie’s goal, and yet another low-scoring affair is on the cards.
Highlighted Player (Joseph Mills):
Joseph Mills is an Aston Villa product who plays for Northampton Town in the League One. Mills moved to Southampton in 2006, and he continued playing for the Saints at senior level. After ending his loan spells with Scunthorpe United and Doncaster Rovers, the pacey left-back joined Reading in 2011, but he made no more than 15 appearances for the Royals in the league.
After his short spell with Burnley, Joseph Mills moved to Oldham Athletic, and it has to be noted that he played for the likes of Perth Glory, Shrewsbury Town, and Forest Green Rovers as well before moving to Northampton Town.
Mills was born in Swindon, England on October 30, 1989, and he wears the No. 23 shirt with the Cobblers. His primary position is left-back, but coaches use him as a left midfielder as well. He has a contract with Northampton Town which should expire in June 2022.
Highlighted Team (Newport County):
Nicknamed the Exiles, Newport County are a Welsh club that welcome their rivals at Rodney Parade. Despite being based in Wales, the club compete in the English League Two. Newport County’s home ground was built in 1904, and it has a capacity of 7,850 people. The club’s home colours are amber shirts and black shorts, with the team wearing black, gray and amber kit when playing on the travels.
Newport County did well to win Welsh Cup in 1980, with the team making it to the FA Trophy in 2012. In 2008 the Latics managed to win the FAW Premier Cup, with the team beating fellow Welsh club Llanelli 1-0 in the title game.
Newport County recorded their biggest league win against Merthyr Town (10-0) on April 10, 1930, with the team suffering their heaviest defeat to Newcastle United (0-13) on October 5, 1946. The club’s record league attendance is 24,268. The record was set on October 16, 1937, when Newport County hosted Cardiff City in a Football League Third Division South game.
