Prediction: 0-1
Grimsby
Following three consecutive defeats in all competitions, Newport County will look to get back on course when they face Grimsby Town in the League Two round 16. The Exiles suffered a dip in form and given their difficulties at the back, home win should not be considered. Talented winger Michael Spellman is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the EFL Trophy defeat to Reading.
The Mariners, on the other hand, defeated AFC Wimbledon 1-0 in their last league match, with Danny Rose scoring the winner in the first half. The 30-year-old was rested in the EFL Trophy loss to Chesterfield, but he should start against Newport County. As Grimsby Town are on a five-game winning run on the road in League Two, we are tempted to place our bets on the visiting team. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier Grimsby Town defeated Newport County 1-0.
