Newport County face Shrewsbury Town in a clash where the visitors look to capitalize on stronger recent form. Therefore, we predict a 1-0 away win. The Exiles come into the game after a 2-1 defeat to Walsall and may be without Jenkins and Spellman, both doubtful. Their recent performances have been inconsistent, collecting just 1.00 point per game across the last 10 matches, while failing to score in 50% of those fixtures. Defensively, the Welsh outfit have struggled for solidity, keeping clean sheets in only 10% of games.
Shrewsbury, despite a 2-0 loss to Crewe last time out, remain in solid form overall with 1.80 points per game. Their away performances have been particularly strong, winning 75% of their last matches on the road and scoring 1.75 goals per game. While the Shrews concede 1.4 goals on average, they carry a more consistent attacking threat than Newport. Interestingly, Shrewsbury have dominated the limited H2H meetings, winning both encounters without conceding.
Given Shrewsbury's better form and away fine record, our prediction firmly points toward Away Win, alongside Under 2.5 goals and Shrewsbury to Win to Nil (low-scoring H2H trend).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 28 March 2026 at 15:00.
