Rotherham United and Newport County meet in League One in clearly contrasting form. The hosts have just lost 0-2 in the league, while the visitors drew 1-1 away and are unbeaten in their last five matches. Rotherham United have lost four in a row in all competitions, struggling in attack and leaking badly at the back, especially in the match where they conceded four. Newport County, meanwhile, are unbeaten in five, though three of those were draws. They are a side that defends stubbornly and waits to counter, with just 39.2% possession in their last ten matches but 3.5 shots on target per game, while the hosts average more possession at 53.3% but only 4 shots on target per game. This game is likely to see the hosts pushing forward and the visitors sitting deep. If Rotherham United score first, Newport County will have to open up, and the space in midfield will give the hosts more chances. But if the visitors hold out until late, the game could end in a share of the points, as they have done often.
