Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Newport County and AFC Wimbledon square off against each other at Rodney Parade in the closing match of League Two round 24. The Exiles aim to recover from back-to-back defeats to Bromley and Walsall and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field in Thursday’s clash. Both Greaves and Miley are pushing for a start as manager Nelson Jardim is expected to make changes to the team that faced the Saddlers.
The Dons, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Swindon Town. As AFC Wimbledon have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth, we predict that they will take advantage of Newport’s shaky defence. To make things even better for the away team, attacker Omar Bugiel has overcome his minor injury. In their last meeting at the venue, the two sides played out a 2-2 draw and yet another high-scoring game is on the cards.
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.
