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

Gillingham come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Newport County travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Gillingham head into this on the back of a defeat, while Newport County arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Despite playing at home, Gillingham face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Newport County have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Gillingham won 3–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Gillingham clear favorites, but Newport County have shown they can grind out results. Expect Gillingham to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
