Oldham – Newport County

Oldham, sitting 14th with seven points from two wins, a draw and three defeats and a slender 8‑7 goal difference, will host bottom‑placed Newport County, who have only five points after one win, two draws and three losses and sit on a 10‑11 deficit. The home side will be keen to close the gap to the playoff places while Newport will be desperate for a win to lift themselves off the relegation zone. Both teams have struggled to find consistency this season, and the clash promises a tightly contested battle as each looks to turn their modest point hauls into a vital three.
