They were dreadful defensively last season, shipping 77 goals in 46 League Two games and keeping just seven clean sheets. Any forward fancies his chances against a defence that leaky, and Mani Dieseruvwe is the Rochdale striker aiming to punish it. Rochdale also arrive fresh from promotion. The catch is that they must win away at Rodney Parade, a tougher ask than a home banker. If Dieseruvwe starts and takes his chances, Newport&#8217;s soft back line hands both him and Rochdale a genuine opening.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Dajaune Brown over 0.5 shots on target and under 2.5 goals<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3\/1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">This double pairs a low player bar with a cautious goals call. Over 0.5 shots on target only needs Dajaune Brown to hit the target once, a modest ask for a forward if he starts. The under 2.5 goals leg backs a tight, low-scoring affair, the kind of tense, cagey game an early-season away trip can produce. Rochdale, newly promoted, may travel to Newport intent on containment first. It is a bet that wants Brown involved and the game controlled, rather than a shootout at Rodney Parade.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button sq-ptips2-cta\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/william-hill?q=gb-all-tcp-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer noopener\">Back these tips with William Hill \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sq-ptips2__foot wp-block-paragraph\">18+ only.

Survival was secured, but the defensive record needs urgent attention if this season is to be more comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mani Dieseruvwe offers a focal point in attack, and Rodney Parade can be a lively, awkward venue for visitors. Tightening up at the back, though, is clearly the priority after last season&#8217;s struggles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-rochdale-go-into-the-game\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Rochdale go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rochdale are back in the EFL after winning promotion from the National League, and momentum is firmly with them. The bookmakers clearly rate their chances of hitting the ground running at this level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veteran forward Ian Henderson remains a threat, and the Dale will travel to south Wales with real belief. The step back up will test them, but on current form they look well equipped for League Two.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"581\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155941\/lt2_card.jpg\" alt=\"Newport County vs Rochdale: 2025-26 by the numbers\" class=\"wp-image-1479200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155941\/lt2_card.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155941\/lt2_card-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155941\/lt2_card-1024x551.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155941\/lt2_card-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155941\/lt2_card-400x215.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155941\/lt2_card-372x200.jpg 372w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155941\/lt2_card-112x60.jpg 112w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155941\/lt2_card-150x81.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155941\/lt2_card-138x74.jpg 138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-newport-county-vs-rochdale-head-to-head\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Newport County vs Rochdale head-to-head<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Date<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Home<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Score<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Away<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">07\/01\/23<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Rochdale<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1-1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Newport County<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">08\/10\/22<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Newport County<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0-1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Rochdale<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">07\/05\/22<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Newport County<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0-2<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Rochdale<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">18\/12\/21<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Rochdale<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3-0<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Newport County<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sides last met in 2023, before Rochdale&#8217;s spell in the National League.
