Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Hartlepool, Newport County will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Sutton on Matchday 34. The Exiles have been producing promising displays in February, but, as things stand now, they are unlikely to make it to the playoffs. There are no fresh selection worries in the home team ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
Meanwhile, Sutton aim to build on back-to-back wins over Swindon Town and Doncaster Rovers. The visitors have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth, but beating Newport County in Wales is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in the Rodney Parade showdown. Barring any fresh injury worries, Matt Gray is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Doncaster at the weekend. In the first half of the season the two teams played out a 1-1 draw.
