After keeping their League Two survival hopes alive thanks to a surprise 3-1 win at Salford, Newport County aim to give fans yet another reason to celebrate. However, we predict a 2-0 win over Cambridge, who have been in a fine form of late. The Exiles' home form is decent (1.75 PPG, 50% win rate at Rodney Parade), but their scoring is inconsistent (1.25 goals per home game) and defensively they’ve conceded 1.25 goals per home match, leaving them vulnerable to an in-form side like Cambridge.
Cambridge United are chasing automatic promotion and bring a strong record (2.20 PPG overall, 2.25 away) and potent attack (2.25 goals per away game). Injuries to Kouassi and Morrison are a concern, but the squad has depth and they’ve consistently performed on the road. The U's xG numbers (1.55 away) suggest they create high-quality chances, while conceding just 0.98 expected goals away.
Given aforementioned statistical data, Cambridge United to win is our main betting tip, alongside Under 3.0 goals (tight defensive setup from Newport), and Cambridge to Score First.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 21 February 2026 at 15:00.
