👉 Prediction: Newport County to Win the First Half
With Newport County coming into this match in great form and holding the home advantage against Fleetwood Town, we see good value in backing them to win the first half.
Since the odds for a full-time win may not be as rewarding, the half-time bet can be a good alternative.
👉 Our prediction is: Draw
Newport County will have the home advantage in this match, and with the quality of their players to the strength of their performances, they will have the upper hand. But even with all that said, our betting tip is to go for a draw in Newport County vs Fleetwood Town.
We just see some flaws that Fleetwood Town can exploit in order to hold the home side to a draw. And with odds of 3.38, the potential payout for a draw is well worth a shot.
