Rotherham UnitedNo absentees
Newport CountyNo absentees
Rotherham United host Newport County at the New York Stadium on Tuesday night, with a 7.45pm kick-off. It pits a struggling home side against a Newport team unbeaten on home soil but winless on the road.
Our Rotherham United vs Newport County predictions point to a tight contest, with Rotherham rooted in the League Two relegation places and desperate for a result after three straight defeats. Newport arrive in better overall health but have yet to win away from home this season, which hands Rotherham an inviting chance to climb out of the bottom two. Here are our best bets for the midweek clash.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has landed on two bets for this one: Paul Mullin to score anytime and the draw.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Paul Mullin to score anytime | 19/10 (Ladbrokes) | Paul Mullin has been Rotherham’s one reliable source of goals this season, leading the way with five of their 12, more than double any team-mate. The experienced striker remains the focal point of everything they create at home. Therefore, if Rotherham are to get anything from this one, their talisman should be involved. Newport have been far from watertight away, conceding eight goals in five road trips. As a result, Mullin should get the openings he thrives on. At almost 2/1 for him to find the net at any point, the price looks generous given how central he is to the hosts’ attack. |
| The draw | 13/5 (Betfair Sportsbook) | Both of these sides know how to share the points. Newport County have drawn five of their 11 League Two games, including goalless draws at Accrington Stanley and Gillingham, and they are still waiting for a first away win. Rotherham United have drawn four of their own, but they arrive on a run of three straight defeats and have conceded 18 goals in all. Newport are unbeaten at home and in their last four overall, so neither side looks likely to pull clear. The draw at 13/5 with Betfair Sportsbook appeals. |

How Rotherham United go into the game
Rotherham United sit 23rd in League Two, a sobering position for a club of their size. In total, they have 10 points from 11 games off two wins, four draws and five defeats. They have lost each of their last three, most recently going down 2-0 at Fleetwood Town. Before that, they suffered a heavy 4-1 home defeat to Gillingham and a 1-0 loss at Exeter City. Paul Mullin leads the scoring on five.
Home comfort has been in short supply at the New York Stadium, where Rotherham have won once, drawn three and lost one of five, scoring eight but shipping 10. They remain capable going forward, yet a leaky defence that has kept just one clean sheet all season has repeatedly undone them.
How Newport County go into the game
Newport County travel to South Yorkshire 11th on 14 points from 11 games. That is a tidy return of three wins and five draws against three defeats. They were held to a 1-1 draw at home by York City last time out, though before that they had beaten Colchester United 1-0. Shaquille Gwengwe tops their scoring with five.
The issue for the visitors is a complete absence of away wins. They have lost three and drawn two of their five games on the road, scoring four and conceding eight. However, that record sits awkwardly against their unbeaten home form. That makes this trip to a wounded Rotherham side an opportunity they can ill afford to waste.
Rotherham United vs Newport County head-to-head
With no recent competitive meetings to draw on, current form shapes the picture. The Millers remain dangerous at home despite sitting near the foot of the table. Meanwhile, Newport County are still without an away win this season.

Rotherham United vs Newport County score prediction
Backing the hosts here is as much about Newport’s away troubles as Rotherham’s quality. Struggling they may be, but Rotherham remain dangerous at home and face a Newport side without an away win all season. We expect goals at both ends. However, neither side has the form to pull clear. Score prediction: Rotherham United 2-2 Newport County.
