Newport County vs Walsall Preview
Newport County welcome Walsall to Rodney Parade in the FA Cup first round, with the hosts hoping to carry their momentum from an impressive 4-1 League Two victory over Chesterfield. The Exiles are expected to stick to their attacking approach, having scored in each of their last six home games. Shaquille Gwengwe is also available again after serving his suspension, providing an additional option up front.
Walsall, meanwhile, head to south Wales on the back of a 3-1 win over Colchester, extending their positive run of results. Lee Grant has no fresh injury concerns, while Jamaica international Courtney Clarke is pushing for a starting spot after making an impact from the bench last time out. The Saddlers have been difficult to beat in League Two, losing only once in 13 matches, and their away record is particularly encouraging, with goals scored in all four recent games on the road.
Walsall's league position and consistency make them a tough opponent for Newport, although the hosts' home form should keep this competitive. Therefore, Walsall or Draw is our main betting tip, alongside Over 1.5 goals, which has landed in 10 of the last 15 head-to-head meetings.
This FA Cup match will be played on Saturday, 7 November 2026 at 15:00 in Rodney Parade, Newport, Wales.
