Prediction: 0-1
Gillingham
Newport County will be desperate to put an end to their dreadful run when they host Gillingham at Rodney Parade on Saturday afternoon. The Exiles have suffered seven consecutive defeats across all competitions, with the team obviously struggling at the back at the moment. Their inability to convert chances up front has only deepened the crisis, and with the pressure mounting, the hosts are in need of a major turnaround. On the positive side, Newport have no fresh injury concerns, meaning they will be able to field their strongest available XI.
Gillingham, on the other hand, are slowly finding their rhythm after a somewhat shaky start to the season. The Gills showed real character in their 1-0 triumph over Notts County last weekend, proving they can grind out results when it matters most. Even though Conor Masterson and Scott Williams are sidelined, the visitors should be able to cope without the pair, thanks to greater squad depth. Given the contrasting form of the two sides, we predict that the visitors are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday's encounter.
