Newport County desperately need points on Friday, Jan 1 at 4:00 PM in the League 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Newport County come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Barnet, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Newport County and Barnet have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (2W–5D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Barnet won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Barnet's quality should tell even on the road. Newport County will push, but the visitors have too much class. Barnet to win.
