Newport County – Chesterfield

Newport County host Chesterfield at Rodney Parade with both sides keen to improve their mid‑table positions – Newport sit 12th on 15 points from three wins, six draws and three defeats, while Chesterfield are just above them in 10th with 16 points from four wins, four draws and four losses. The hosts have a slender +1 goal difference (16‑15) compared with the visitors’ +2 (18‑16), suggesting a tightly contested encounter. With the table so close, a win could see either side leapfrog the other, adding extra spice to a fixture that has already produced a narrow points gap. Both teams will be looking to convert their recent draws into the three points needed to climb the league ladder.
