Newport County
- Newport County are in 19th position with six points from seven games.
- Newport have drawn back-to-back games against Fleetwood Town and away from home, so they are likely to be stubborn opponents on Saturday.
Grimsby Town
- Grimsby Town are in 3rd place in League Two 2026/2027 with 13 points from 7 matches.
- The Mariners have strung together two consecutive wins over Bristol Rovers and Crawley Town to get their season up and running after an indifferent start, and they are now beginning to look like a real force in the fourth tier.
- The 3rd-placed Mariners have drawn all three of their away games, conceding four goals, and should prove to be the likelier winner on the night.

Key Players

Betting Insights
- The odds, which price Grimsby as favorites at 1.84, are probably right in favouring the visitors to win this match against Newport at Rodney Parade, although the Exiles' unbeaten home record this term (W1, D2 from 3) will ensure that the Mariners cannot afford to take anything for granted on Saturday.
- However, with Newport unbeaten at home and Grimsby yet to secure a win on the road, a smart alternative play could be Both Teams To Score at 1.67, especially as the hosts are yet to keep a clean sheet at home.
Prediction
The 3rd-placed Mariners have drawn all three of their away games, conceding four goals, and should prove to be the likelier winner on the night.
