Newport County desperately need points on Saturday, May 8 at 4:00 PM in the League 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Walsall come into this fixture drawing too many games (4D in last 5). Newport County travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 10 previous meetings, Walsall lead 4–2 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in Walsall won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Walsall a slight edge, but Newport County are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
