Prediction: 1-0
Newport County
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Northampton Town, Cheltenham Town will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Newport County on Saturday afternoon. The Robins did well to put an end to their three-game losing run in preseason and they are now on a quest to kickstart the new League Two campaign in style. A man to watch in the home team will be summer recruit Ryan Bowman, who scored a brace in the last warm-up game.
The Exiles, on the other hand, were struggling in preseason, especially in front of goal. As Newport County are not regarded as good travellers, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. In their last meeting in a competitive match Newport emerged triumphant, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. As for the away team, all eyes will be on summer signings Courtney Baker-Richardson.
