Competition: League Two
Market: Swindon Town win
Odds: 4/7 @ 1xBet
Looking to extend their buffer in the automatic promotion spots, Swindon will welcome Newport to the County Grand on Wednesday night.
Starting with the hosts, while Swindon might have found themselves at the heart of a worrying blip last month, the Robins have certainly come roaring back in an eye-catching fashion. Rightfully receiving a string of plaudits from across England’s fourth-tier, Ian Holloway’s side are currently sat in bronze medal position and have their sights set on securing a shock League One return in 2026. Last seen over the weekend putting in a dominant display as they stormed their way to a routine 3-0 victory at home against Oldham, the one-time QPR boss has seen his squad win all of their previous three consecutive League Two showdowns by an aggregate score of 7-1. Signing off January with a 3-1 win against Barrow, Swindon will also be excited by their extended dominance on home soil. Including a 2-0 victory against Gillingham on New Year’s Day, Wednesday’s hosts have won four of their last five matchups at the County Ground.
As for the visitors, although Newport might have clung to their League Two status last season, Christian Fuchs’ men have an almighty battle on their hands this time around. Getting Wednesday’s trip to the City Ground underway sat in the drop zone and widely regarded as a standout relegation candidate in 2026, the Exiles are once again pencilled in as a landslide underdog in midweek. Signing off January with a 3-0 loss at the hands of Bristol Rovers, Wednesday’s guests have continued to show some glaring issues this season. Including a 4-1 drumming at home against Accrington Stanley, Newport have also gained an unwanted reputation for their struggles away from Rodney Parade. In fact, Fuchs’ downbeat squad have lost all of their previous four straight showdowns on the road by an aggregate score of 12-4. Two camps who find themselves scrapping it out at opposite ends of the League Two standings, we are backing a home victory on Wednesday night.
