Newport County will be looking to distance themselves from the relegation zone as they host Swindon at Rodney Parade in a League Two clash on Friday night.

Continuing where they left off last year, Newport started 2025 with another disappointment, as last week’s dramatic 2-3 away defeat at the hands of Port Vale marking their fourth consecutive setback in the English football’s fourth tier. The team led by Nelson Jardim must swiftly figure out how to reverse their fortunes, with their four-match losing skid pushing the Exiles down to a troubling 20th spot on the table, which puts them a mere six points clear of the relegation zone.

Unlike their Friday opposition, who are enduring a turbulent period, Swindon Town have every reason to be pleased with how they have kicked off 2025, especially considering that just a few weeks ago they were hovering perilously close to the relegation zone. Indeed, their 2-0 thrashing of Barrow in the previous round saw the Robins claim their seventh point from four league games since the calendar year flipped, with the improvement helping them create an eight-point cushion from the danger zone.

Newport vs Swindon Betting Tips: 1X (DOUBLE CHANCE)

A mere two points divide this pair, but Newport hold an advantage with three matches in hand over Swindon, and they could move ahead of their guests if they manage to grab a win. The Exiles' biggest points haul this season has come from their home matches, collecting 17 out of a total of 26, so Nelson Jardim's side will once again rely on home advantage to earn something from Friday's clash. Despite Swindon boasting a better start to 2025, their away performances have been discouraging, as they’ve only managed to leave hostile territory with all the points once in 14 trips this season (D7 L6). In fact, the Robins haven't tasted an away win in three months, so we reckon Newport have a good chance of staving off the turmoil with a positive result here, and can also take inspiration from back-to-back wins over Swindon at Rodney Parade.

Newport team news

Standard defender Ciaran Brennan dislocated his shoulder in his team's dramatic 2-3 loss to Port Vale last week, forcing him to be substituted in the 39th minute, and his availability for Friday's match is uncertain.

Newport County appears set to be without their number one goalkeeper, Nick Townsend, for a third consecutive League Two match, with Jacob Carney likely to step in between the posts.

Swindon Town

Swindon team news

Left-back Billy Kirkman has sustained a medial collateral ligament sprain during the Robins' 2-0 victory over Barrow last week, ruling him out for four to six weeks.

Apart from that, manager Ian Holloway has no other injury concerns, meaning he’s likely to field the same team that played last week, hoping for another positive result.
