Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Newport County and Accrington square off against each other at Rodney Parade in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. Both sides sit in the safe zone and we are positive that they will adopt a cautious approach in Tuesday’s clash. The Exiles should be happy with one point from the match as they are on a four-game losing run in the English fourth tier. Both Declan Drysdale and James Clarke continue to miss out with injuries, while defender Scott Bennett has overcome his problem.
The Accy Stanley, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four league matches. Anyhow, Accrington and Newport seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we predict that they are going to share the spoils at Rodney Parade. As for the away team, Joe Pritchard should return to the starting XI, with Matt Lowe pushing for a start as well after overcoming his injury.
