Northampton will be desperate to make amends for their poor start to the season when Newport County visit Sixfields Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Cobblers are still without a win after four league games, with a 1-1 draw against Crawley extending their winless run. They managed only 0.55 xG in midweek and have scored just 0.60 goals per home game across their last 10. Lee Evans is suspended and could be a significant absence for the hosts.
Newport, meanwhile, are also struggling for consistency, going three games without a win after a 2-1 defeat to Salford City. The Exiles have major defensive problems, conceding 1.90 goals per game overall and 2.00 on their travels. Their recent matches have been particularly open, with BTTS landing in 80% of their last 10 games. There are no fresh injury concerns for the visitors.
As Northampton are winless in their last 10 and have failed to win any of their last five at home, we are tempted to bet on Away Win, alongside Newport or Draw and Over 2.5 goals (Newport’s recent games average a huge 3.70 goals per match).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 15:00.
