Newport County
Salford City will look to stay in the playoffs berth when they take on Newport County in the League Two round 35. The Lions have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Swindon, beating Mansfield, while sharing the spoils with Barrow. There are no fresh selection worries in the home team ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
The Exiles, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Sutton, but seeing that the promotion-chasing hosts want this win more than the visitors, we are tempted to put our money on Neil Wood’s men. As for the away side, Nathan Moriah-Welsh is pushing for a start, with Scott Bennett likely to drop to the bench. You should bear in mind that the Lions emerged triumphant in each of the previous three meetings with the Exiles in the League Two.
