Prediction: 2-1
Newport County
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Grimsby Town, Barrow will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Newport County on Matchday 7. The Bluebirds are eager to stay in the automatic promotion places and they are seen as hot favourites to beat the Exiles in front of home fans. Midfielder Kian Spence is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match, with Emile Acquah being ready to step up.
Newport County, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run in all competitions and given their shaky defence, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. You should bear in mind that the Exiles conceded eight goals in total in back-to-back defeats to Swindon Town (0-4) and Port Vale (1-4). There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
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.
