Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Tranmere will look to keep their fourth consecutive clean sheet when they take on Newport at their Prenton Park on Matchday 4. The Superwhites have been impressive at the back of late, and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Saturday’s clash. Manager Micky Mellon is likely to stick to the 3-4-3 formation, with Emmanuel Dieseruvwe up front as a lone forward. The Exiles, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Mansfield.
Considering that Newport managed to keep a clean sheet in the first away game of the season at Oldham (0-1), we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their previous seven meetings in all competitions. Summer signing Timmy Abraham is widely expected to lead the line for the visitors.
