Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Newport County will be aiming to put an end to their six-game winless run when they face Walsall in the League Two round 44. The Exiles are eight points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that they would be happy with one point from Monday’s clash as well. Experienced midfielder Aaron Wildig remains in the recovery room, while all Clarke, Davies, and Jameson are rated doubtful.
The Saddlers, on the other hand, aim to climb to the automatic promotion berth. With Walsall wanting this win more than Newport County, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from Monday’s encounter. Jack Earing remains in the treatment room, while both Priestley Farquharson and Josh Gordon are major doubts and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. Earlier this season, Walsall recorded a 2-0 win over Newport County.
