Salford vs Newport County Preview
Salford City aim to continue their strong home form when they welcome Newport County, though they may be without defender Zach Awe after he picked up a knock in the FA Cup defeat to Manchester City. Anyhow, we predict a 2-0 home win as Newport do not seem to be at their sharpest. The Lions have been particularly reliable at home, averaging 2.00 points per game, conceding just 0.60 goals, and keeping 60% clean sheets at the Peninsula Stadium. Their expected goals numbers also impress, with a home xG of 1.80, suggesting they generally create enough to control matches.
Newport County travel with major concerns, not least a dreadful away record that shows five straight defeats and 0.00 points per game on the road. Defensive issues are clear, with an away xGA of 1.77 and 0% clean sheets, while Ciaran Brennan remains a major doubt after limping off in their 1-0 loss to MK Dons. The Exiles score only 0.60 goals per away match, highlighting their struggles in the final third.
Salford have dominated this fixture historically, winning 8 of 14 H2H meetings, with just two victories for Newport. Given their far stronger home form and Newport’s winless away record, Home Win seems like a sure bet, alongside Under 3.5 goals as neither side consistently produces high-scoring games.
