Saturday’s football game at Rodney Parade pits together Newport County and Grimsby Town, with the hosts desperate to end a six-game winless run. The Exiles did enjoy a morale-boosting EFL Trophy win over Swindon, but their league form remains a concern, and they have conceded 1.75 goals per game across their last four home matches. Harri Pugh is doubtful after picking up a knock, although he was unlikely to start anyway.
The Mariners, meanwhile, are enjoying back-to-back 2-0 victories over Bristol Rovers and Crawley Town. Grimsby have been difficult to beat overall, although their away record remains winless across the last five games, with four consecutive draws before their latest defeat. Experienced midfielder Mark Shelton is ruled out for the visitors.
With Newport seeing BTTS in 75% of their last four home games and Grimsby's away matches averaging 3.00 goals, Both Teams to Score betting option should be considered, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 26 September 2026 at 15:00.
