Newport County vs Barrow Predictions

• Newport County have won six of their last ten home league games (Two draws, two defeats).
• Barrow have lost three of their last four League Two away games.
• Barrow have failed to score in four of their last five away league games.

Exiles have momentum to bring down the Bluebirds

Barrow will be in for a tough afternoon at Rodney Parade from a  Newport County side looking to bridge the gap from the playoff to the automatic promotion places. James Rowberry’s side carry the momentum of a three-game winning streak into the fixture against the Bluebirds, who are dangerously close to the Football League trapdoor.

The Exiles have won six of their last ten at home and have added a bit of quality with the loan signing of Coventry defender Josh Pask in the transfer window. Pask has combined well with Mickey Demetriou at the heart of Newport’s back four in keeping clean sheets against Harrogate, Scunthorpe and Leyton Orient.

Rowberry has a great strike tandem in the shape of Dom Telford and Courtney Baker-Richardson too, so County appear to be strong in both penalty areas. That cannot be said for Barrow, who have scored a league-worst seven goals across their last 12 matches.

Barrow’s new strikers yet to make a difference

The Cumbrians sought out fresh forward options early in the window but neither Will Harris or Jacob Wakeling – brought in from Sunderland and Leicester’s U23s respectively, have found the mark yet. Barrow have failed to score in four of their last five away league games and we fear this will be another for them with the price on Newport to win to nil offering some value here.

A 2-0 Exiles win looks a good bet in correct score markets because Newport average exactly two goals per game at home this season.
