Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-0
Scunthorpe
Newport County will look to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Newport when they host Scunthorpe to their Rodney Parade on Matchday 10. The Exiles have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to both Northampton and Barrow, while beating Walsall, and, as a result, they sit in the 15th place in the standings.
Newport County are eager to move closer to the playoffs berth, and they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. The Iron, on the other hand, are stuck in the relegation zone, with only 7 points from possible 27. Scunthorpe suffered three defeats in the previous four league fixtures, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Newport County’s party at Rodney Parade. In their last meeting at the venue Newport County defeated Scunthorpe 4-0.
