Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Newport County will be looking to build on their recent success as they host Fleetwood Town in League Two action this Saturday. After ending a three-game losing run with a nice win over Gillingham, the Exiles are eager to keep on climbing the standings. The hosts head into the match with no new injury concerns, allowing manager Graham Coughlan to field a strong side.
On the other hand, Fleetwood Town hav struggled recently, suffering back-to-back defeats to Port Vale and Crewe. The Cod Army will aim to bounce back, but their dip in form could be a concern as they head to South Wales. Manager Scott Brown is expected to recall Elliot Bonds to the starting XI, which may provide a much-needed boost in midfield. With Newport’s newfound confidence and Fleetwood’s ups and downs, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on the home side.
