Newport to ruffle Seagulls’ feathers?

League Two high fliers Newport County have won six of their last eight home matches at Rodney Parade and the formidable Exiles look ready to go toe-to-toe with a Seagulls side that are in a bit of a flap.

Albion’s comeback against Wolves in their last Premier League fixture was stirring, though Brighton have won just one of their last 16 matches in all competitions overall, and victories continue to be frustratingly out of reach for Graham Potter.

Potter has in fact, moved among the favourites to be the next Premier League manager sacked in recent weeks, and a Third Round giant killing at the hands of Newport would almost certainly push him to the brink.

With Brighton’s results despairingly sub-par, and the hosts’ buoyant following a run of excellent performances on their own patch, backing Newport in the double chance market this week looks worth considering, while our 1-1 correct score prediction tips the Exiles to take the tie to extra time.

The Seagulls have notched one or fewer goals in six of their last eight games, and their lack of final third pizazz could see them come up embarrassingly short against their League Two opponents.
