Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Rodney Parade will host Monday’s football game between Newport County and Crawley Town, the two teams who were beaten by Colchester United and Doncaster Rovers respectively on Friday. The Exiles are five points behind top seven, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for the home side. Matt Bondswell limped off with injury in the last league match, with Harrison Bright likely to step up.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth and given their fine performances on the road in March, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. It has to be noted that Crawley Town have won recorded four wins in the previous five away games. Both Kellan Gordon and Nicholas Tsaroulla are pushing for a start, speaking of the visiting team.
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.
Newport County did well to win Welsh Cup in 1980, with the team making it to the FA Trophy in 2012. In 2008 the Latics managed to win the FAW Premier Cup, with the team beating fellow Welsh club Llanelli 1-0 in the title game.
Newport County recorded their biggest league win against Merthyr Town (10-0) on April 10, 1930, with the team suffering their heaviest defeat to Newcastle United (0-13) on October 5, 1946. The club’s record league attendance is 24,268. The record was set on October 16, 1937, when Newport County hosted Cardiff City in a Football League Third Division South game.
