Prediction: 2-2
Swindon
Newport County and Swindon Town square off against each other at Rodney Parade in what is expected to be an interesting League Two clash. The Exiles have been in a splendid form of late, with the team winning each of their last three league fixtures, and, no doubt, this good run of results gave them a confidence boost. The attacking partnership of Telford and Baker-Richardson has been in a perfect working order of late, and the duo is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
The Robins, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Oldham Athletic. Swindon Town are eyeing their fifth consecutive win on the road, and given their attacking potential, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. Newport defender should have Tyrece Simpson at bay as the teenager scored a brace in the triumph over Oldham.
