Newport County vs Forest Green Rovers Preview
Newport County are very much in mid-table, sitting just outside the top half at the moment. There are no real prospects of going up and it doesn’t look like they are going to go down either. It may just be about building momentum ahead of a potential play off push next season.
Marlon Jackson may miss out with a hamstring injury. Padraig Amond is the key player for the home side, and if they are to score then he is likely to be the man to find the net.
Forest Green Rovers did not lose in the whole of the month of February, winning three times and drawing once. These great results have helped move them clear of the relegation zone, with a 6 point gap between themselves and Chesterfield.
Forest Green aren’t missing any key players for this game, so the manager will have some decisions to make. A front two of Reid and Doidge should provide some problems for the hosts.

Newport County vs Forest Green Rovers Prediction
Newport County haven’t won for a long time, since their 2-1 win against Crawley way back on the 19th January which was 8 matches ago now. Their form has fallen apart since then. There were two good performances against Spurs in the FA Cup but they did lose eventually.
The home side’s last two games have both been 0-0 draws, which does not bode well for a great game here. They will be happy to have tightened things up though, having lost 5-0 to Mansfield a few weeks back.
Forest Green beat Crawley Town 2-0 last week, with a goal each from Reuben Reid and Christian Doidge. A win here would help move them even further away from the relegation zone.
The tip is for a low scoring draw for this game. We are not expecting a bundle of entertainment.

In the last 6 meetings between these two sides, it is Newport who have a marginally better record. They have won 3 of those matches, with 2 wins from Forest Green and 1 draw. Many of these meetings took place outside of the football league.
The match earlier in the season was completely one sided, with Newport winning 4-0 away from home. It would be a shock if it was the same scoreline on Tuesday.
