Newport County team overview
Newport return to Rodney Parade after a narrow 1:0 defeat at Cheltenham Town on Saturday. Charlie McCann scored the only goal just five minutes into the contest.
Hayden Mullins' side created several opportunities to equalise, but Harrison Biggins saw a second-half penalty saved by Wyll Stanway.
Newport had enjoyed a seven-game unbeaten League Two run before Saturday's setback, although five of those matches finished level. Mullins' men have proved difficult to beat but have struggled to turn draws into victories.
The Exiles now sit 16th in the League Two standings with 15 points picked up from 13 league matches.
While Newport have struggled on their travels, they have been much stronger at Rodney Parade. County won three and drew three of six home league fixtures this season.
Despite being ough-to-beat at home, the Exiles have struggled to keep clean sheets at this venue. Six of their last eight League Two fixtures, including four of their five most recent home fixtures finished with both teams on the scoresheet.
Head coach Mullins has some selection problems ahead of Friday's encounter. Matt Dibley-Dias will be assessed after limping out of last weekend’s defeat at Cheltenham.
Christian Doidge remains sidelined through injury, while Shaquille Gwengwe is suspended.

Chesterfield team overview
Chesterfield make the trip to South Wales after an outstanding 5:1 home win against Crewe Alexandra last Saturday.
Josh Koroma, Tom Naylor and Fraser Bryden scored inside the opening 20 minutes before an own goal and a Liam Mandeville effort completed a remarkable five-goal first half.
Saturday's win ended a three-match winless league run that included draws against Colchester and Crawley and a defeat at Port Vale.
The Spireites sit seventh in League Two with 19 points collected from 13 fixtures.
Chesterfield have yet to find much forn on the road with one win and three defeats recorded in six league trips this season.
Head coach Cook has just one reported injury issue. Josh Koroma was forced off just minutes after scoring against Crewe, and his fitness will be assessed ahead of Friday's contest.
