Grimsby Town should be backed to beat Newport County at Blundell Park on Saturday. The visitors have struggled defensively this season and that should give David Artell’s side the edge in this League Two clash.
Grimsby are ninth in League Two, ten points clear of Newport, who are 16th. The hosts have 17 wins and 15 defeats from their 37 games, while the visitors have won 13 and lost 17.
Newport’s poor away form is a major concern. They have lost six times in their last eight League Two away games, including their last three on the road.
A 2-0 win for Grimsby looks a decent correct-score option. In five of the last seven League Two meetings between these sides, at least one team has failed to score, and the hosts should have too much for Newport going forward.
