Newport County – Salford City

Newport County host Salford City in what promises to be a tight contest at Rodney Parade, with both sides looking to climb out of the lower half of the table. The home side sit 20th with just five points from one win, two draws and three defeats, having scored ten and conceded eleven, while Salford sit in 15th place on seven points, their record of two victories, one draw and three losses leaving them with a slightly better goal difference of seven for and nine against. The two clubs have yet to meet this season, and each will be eager to turn their modest point hauls into a crucial three points to improve their precarious league positions. A win for Newport could lift them out of the relegation zone, whereas Salford will be aiming to bridge the gap to the mid‑table and secure a stronger foothold in the standings.
