Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Both teams to score10/11Newport’s 5-3 defeat at Bristol Rovers highlighted their attacking threat, but also exposed plenty of problems at the back. They should be able to find the net again on home soil, although Tranmere can cause them problems.
Tranmere drew 1-1 with Port Vale last time out and have shown enough going forward to trouble the Newport defence. With both sides carrying an attacking threat, BTTS looks the standout play at Rodney Parade.
Newport County to win13/8Newport showed plenty of attacking threat last weekend, scoring three goals despite suffering defeat. Home advantage should give the Exiles another boost as they look to turn their attacking promise into three points.
They have enough going forward to trouble their opponents, making 13/8 on a Newport victory an appealing price.

How Newport go into the game

Newport were beaten 5-3 at Bristol Rovers last time out, an entertaining but leaky display. Rodney Parade will demand a tighter show.

The Exiles carry a real threat going forward but must sort out their defence. Home form is key to their season.

How Tranmere go into the game

Tranmere drew 1-1 with Port Vale last time out, a fair point. They travel to Wales as slight underdogs.

Rovers are organised and dangerous on the break, and they will fancy their chances in an open game.
