Match Preview
Newport County hosts Salford City at Rodney Parade on Tuesday evening, with contrasting recent form highlighting the stakes for both teams. Newport has struggled, suffering four defeats in their last five matches, while Salford comes into this fixture with a more positive outlook, having secured two wins and two draws in the same period. The pressure is on Newport to turn their fortunes around at home, where they will need to address defensive frailties that have seen them concede in five of their last six encounters. Historically, this matchup has been competitive, with both sides winning four times each in their last ten meetings. The odds suggest a close contest, with Salford being the favourites at 1.91. A key angle to consider is the likelihood of both teams scoring, as evidenced by the BTTS statistic being true in half of their previous encounters. With Newport's urgent need for points and Salford's attacking form, a bet on both teams to find the net at 1.8 could prove a prudent choice.
