Newport County have lost five successive games in all competitions.
Bristol Rovers have won their last two league games 1-0.

Exiles to face more difficulty

After a promising start to the season, Newport County’s three-game unbeaten run has given way to a difficult period, with last weekend’s loss at Cambridge making it five successive defeats in all competitions.

That record could be extended to six matches against a Bristol Rovers side that have found their feet in recent weeks.

The Pirates, who lost their opening four games in all competitions, have won their last two League Two fixtures and have kept three successive clean sheets.

They look justified favourites to add to The Exiles’ struggles, and another shutout could be on the cards after Newport failed to score in three of their last five.

David Hugh’s side have lost two of these five games 1-0, and Bristol Rovers’ last two league games have ended in 1-0 victories, so that is an excellent correct score choice.
