Kick-off: 7.45pm UK Time, Tuesday 4th February 2025
Newport County and Morecambe each enjoyed success in their last outings and they will both look to build on their weekend wins when they do battle in South Wales tonight.
Stopped the rot
Newport County have been finding wins hard to come by in recent weeks, the South Wales outfit managing just a single point from the twelve on offer throughout January. Nevertheless, the Exiles stopped the rot on Saturday afternoon when they ended a six-game winless run with a victory over Barrow. County have been having few issues finding the back of the net over the past couple of months but their lack of rearguard nous has been letting them down consistently.
Return to winning ways
Morecambe opened their 2025 account with a 2-0 win at home to Tranmere Rovers, however their subsequent four outings across competitions saw them fail miserably to make the net bulge, a 5-0 thrashing away to Chelsea in the FA Cup third round being followed by successive 1-0 defeats to Crewe Alexandra, Colchester United and Bradford City. A 4-2 win over Fleetwood last weekend was a welcome return to winning ways and it was enough to lift them off the foot of the league table but they remain very much in the danger zone and are odds-on favourites for the drop.
Head-to-Head
Historically, Newport County have enjoyed the upper hand in recent encounters against Morecambe. The Exiles have won each of their last six league games against the Shrimps, this being their longest current winning streak against any side in the EFL. Additionally, after winning each of their first three away Football League games against Newport County between 2013 and 2015, Morecambe have been winless on their last six visits to Rodney Parade with three draws and three losses.
Key Players
For Newport County, the attacking duo of Morris and Camwa have been instrumental, both players showcasing their goal-scoring abilities in recent matches. Their performance will be crucial for the home side’s offensive efforts. Morecambe will rely on their recent goal scorers to maintain their attacking momentum, aiming to capitalize on any defensive lapses by Newport.
Prediction
Given Newport County’s strong home record against Morecambe and their recent return to winning ways, they are understandably slight favourites heading into this match. Morecambe’s recent victory indicates they are capable of challenging the hosts, however with the advantage of home comforts, we’ll be siding with the hosts to edge their way to success in what should prove to be an evenly-fought encounter.
