We said: Newport County 1-2 Swindon Town

Newport will be desperate to stop the rot this week and put points on the board for the first time in 2025, and they could deliver a spirited performance. However, Swindon are in much better form, and even though the Robins might concede due to their own defensive weakness, the Exiles may be unable to avoid yet another defeat. Read more.
