Newport County will be eager to start their League Two campaign on a positive note when they welcome Rochdale to Rodney Parade. The Exiles were eliminated from the EFL Cup by AFC Wimbledon on penalties and were involved in several high-scoring games during pre-season. Newport have won four of their last 10 matches, while their home record has been particularly encouraging, with a 60% win rate. However, they have conceded 1.8 goals per home game, and BTTS landed in 60% of those matches. The club has also strengthened significantly, with Kyle Cameron, Cameron Norman, Harrison Biggins, Christian Doidge, and Dan Sassi among the summer arrivals.
Rochdale, meanwhile, will be hoping to recover from their EFL Cup defeat to Bradford City. Dale have won four of their last 10 and have been involved in plenty of entertaining games, with their matches averaging 3.0 goals. BTTS landed in an impressive 80% of their recent fixtures, including every one of their last four home games and 67% of their away matches. Sam Sherring, Zain Silcott-Duberry, Jonny Smith, and Laurence Maguire are among the new faces brought in during the summer.
BTTS landed in 70% of Newport's matches and 80% of Rochdale's. Therefore, punters worldwide can find value in betting on Both Teams to Score. Additionally, Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals markets seem appealing (both teams average around three total goals per game).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 15 August 2026 at 12:30.
