Crawley Town – Newport County

Crawley Town will host Newport County in what promises to be a tightly contested fixture, with both sides languishing near the bottom of the table. The home side sit 23rd with just four points from six games, having scored only six goals while conceding eleven, whereas Newport sit three places higher in 20th place on five points, matching Crawley’s defensive frailty with ten goals scored and the same number conceded. With only one win each this season, both clubs will be desperate to claim the three points that could lift them out of the relegation zone. The encounter offers a vital chance for Crawley to close the gap and for Newport to widen the gap on the teams above them.
