Newport County – Walsall

Newport County host Walsall in what promises to be a stark clash of ambitions, with the hosts languishing in 20th place on five points after a solitary win, two draws and three defeats, and a goal‑difference of minus one (10‑11). Walsall arrive in Newport riding a flawless record, sitting fifth with ten points from two victories and four draws, and a comfortable +4 goal margin (8‑4). The disparity in form means the visitors will be looking to extend their unbeaten run, while Newport will be desperate for a win to lift them out of the relegation zone. Both sides will know that a single result could dramatically reshape the bottom half of the table.
