Saturday's relegation six-pointer at Rodney Parade sees Newport County host Harrogate in a crucial battle at the bottom. As both sides are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach, we predict a 2-2 draw. Newport sit just one point above the drop zone and come into this clash after a 3-1 loss to Notts County. The Exiles average 1.00 point per game across their last ten, scoring just 0.9 goals while conceding 1.4. At home, they have struggled for consistency, failing to score in 50% of matches, though defender Cameron Evans is expected to return and strengthen the backline.
Harrogate, currently bottom, know a win here could lift them out of the relegation zone. Despite their position, they have been solid away from home, averaging 1.80 PPG and scoring 1.6 goals per match. Their games tend to be open, with 2.8 total goals per away fixture. Head-to-head meetings are typically high-scoring, with 91% going over 2.5 goals, suggesting another open contest could be on the cards.
Considering strong H2H trend, we believe that there is big value in betting on Over 2.5 goals, alongside BTTS, and Over 3.5 goals.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 11 April 2026 at 15:00.
