Our prediction for this League 2 match:
AFC Wimbledon will look to extend their winning run in League Two to three games when they take on Newport County on Matchday 39. The Dons have been impressive at the back of late, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive clean sheet and we are positive that they will rely on their rock-solid defence in Saturday’s clash as well. Lebanon forward Omar Bugiel scored a brace in the midweek triumph and we predict that the 29-year-old will prove a handful for Newport defenders as well.
The Exiles, on the other hand, produced a fine display in a 5-3 win over Morecambe, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against AFC Wimbledon, who are determined to secure a top-seven finish and a spot in the playoffs. There are no fresh injury concerns in the away team ahead of the trip to London.
