Prediction: 2-2
Swindon
After eliminating Milton Keynes Dons in the EFL Trophy, Newport County recorded a very important win over Scunthorpe United in the League Two. The Exiles did well to put an end to their ten-game winless run in the League Two, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to book their place in the play-offs. Anyhow, Newport County face a difficult task in Saturday’s football game against Swindon Town, who are seen as No. 1 favourites to secure automatic promotion to the League One.
The league leaders picked up all three points from the League Two derby against Crewe Alexandra, with the team moving one step closer to returning to the English third tier. Swindon Town are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Newport County, and given the home team’s current form, both teams to score bet should be considered.
Highlighted Player (Ade Azeez):
Adebayo Azeez is a professional football player who was born in Orpington, England on January 8, 1994. Azeez started his youth career at Rivercray, and in 2008 he moved to Charlton Athletic.

After spending a couple of seasons on loan Wycombe Wanderers, Leyton Orient, Torquey United, and Dag & Red, Adebayo Azeez signed a contract with AFC Wimbledon in the summer of 2014.
