Newport County vs Alfreton Town Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Previews

For our correct score tip we think it will finish 4-1 and this is available at 16/1 with the same site.

County have been enjoying a bit of a renaissance of late and the appointment of Graham Westley last month seems to be starting to pay dividends. Newport will go into this match on a big waive of optimism after they ended the impressive undefeated streak of Carlisle when they recorded a 2-0 win at the weekend. That result came on the back of an excellent 2-0 victory over AFC Wimbledon in the Checkatrade Trophy and a 3-1 win away at Accrington.

Visiting Rodney Parade is an Alfreton side who have had their own problems this season as they currently sit just above the drop zone in National League North. Alfreton have lost 10 of their 17 league fixtures this season and in 50% of those losses the winning margin has been greater than one goal.

Given that Newport are two levels above their opponents in the league pyramid and that Alfreton have one of the worst defensive records in National League North it is all pointing to a comfortable nights work for Westley’s men.
