Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Stockport County play host to Newport County at their Edgeley Park on day 37 of the 2023/2024 League Two campaign. The Hatters aim to put an end to their four-game winless run and they are surely capable of beating the Exiles in front of home fans. Will Collar should miss out with injury, while Saint Kitts and Nevis midfielder Ethan Bristow is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
Newport County, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, but given their under-par display in a 1-0 loss to Mansfield Town, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the automatic promotion hopefuls. James Clark suffered an injury in the last league match, with Declan Drysdale likely to replace him in the starting XI. There are no other selection worries in the away team.
