Fleetwood Town look to continue climbing the League Two table as they host bottom-placed Newport County in a match that should heavily favour the home side on current form. As Newport are stuck at the bottom of the table following a 2-0 loss to Cambridge United, we predict a 3-1 home win. The Cod Army are coming off a thrilling 3-2 victory over Barrow, with both Osong and McLean scoring off the bench, putting pressure on the manager to hand them starting roles. At home, Fleetwood have struggled for consistency, collecting just 0.75 points per game, but they remain dangerous going forward with 1.50 goals scored per home match and a high 100% BTTS rate on home turf. Their underlying numbers also show promise, averaging 1.33 xG at home.
Newport County, meanwhile, remain rooted to the bottom of the standings despite a slight improvement in recent weeks. Their away form is particularly concerning, with four losses from their last five and an alarming 2.00 goals conceded per away match. Adding to their woes, defender Thomas Davies limped off injured in the 2-0 loss to Cambridge United, meaning Anthony Driscoll-Glennon is likely to step in. Offensively, the Exiles average only 1.00 goal per game on the road and sit on just 0.50 points per away match.
Considering Fleetwood's better momentum, stronger attack, and Newport's struggles at the bottom, Home Win seems like a sure bet, with additional value on Over 2.5 goals and Both Teams to Score (Fleetwood have a 100% BTTS home rate; Newport average 3.00 total goals in away games).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 28 February 2026 at 15:00.
