Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Out-of-sorts Newport County will try to put an end to their four-game losing run in League Two when they face Bristol Rovers on Matchday 7. The Exiles do not seem to be at their sharpest and given their offensive struggles, home win should not be considered. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, both Evans and Kamwa are in line for recalls to the starting XI.
The Pirates, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Cambridge United and Grimsby Town. Given Newport’s poor form in August, we predict that the visitors will give fans yet another reason to celebrate this weekend. Both Sotiriou and Harrison are rated doubtful for the visiting team after picking up injuries in the last league match. Howley and Cavegn are seen as the main candidates to replace aforementioned duo in the starting line-up.
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.
