Prediction: 1-1
Newport County
Sutton will look to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Gillingham when they take on Newport County at VBS Community Stadium. Sutton are stuck in the relegation zone and given their poor display in the last league match, home win should not be considered. To make things even worse for the home team, Harry Smith misses out through suspension. Lee Angol is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
The Exiles, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late. Newport County, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in three of their last four meetings in the English fourth tier. There are no fresh injury concerns for the visiting side.
Highlighted Team (Newport County):
Nicknamed the Exiles, Newport County are a Welsh club that welcome their rivals at Rodney Parade. Despite being based in Wales, the club compete in the English League Two. Newport County’s home ground was built in 1904, and it has a capacity of 7,850 people. The club’s home colours are amber shirts and black shorts, with the team wearing black, gray and amber kit when playing on the travels.
Newport County did well to win Welsh Cup in 1980, with the team making it to the FA Trophy in 2012. In 2008 the Latics managed to win the FAW Premier Cup, with the team beating fellow Welsh club Llanelli 1-0 in the title game.
Newport County recorded their biggest league win against Merthyr Town (10-0) on April 10, 1930, with the team suffering their heaviest defeat to Newcastle United (0-13) on October 5, 1946. The club’s record league attendance is 24,268. The record was set on October 16, 1937, when Newport County hosted Cardiff City in a Football League Third Division South game.
