Match Betting – Newport
This is a very simple pick. It doesn’t mean it’s certainly a winner, but we love the odds and the value that we get. Southend is dead in the water – there’s no easy way to put this. They are being relegated and there’s nothing that can save them as they are 4 points behind Scunthorpe with only 1 round left to be -played. Newport is in 5th but they can lose their Top 7 spot unless they win or draw. Our prediction is they will win.
BTTS – No
The odds aren’t fantastic here, but this wager is definitely worth a look. Newport has allowed 41 goals in 45 matches and they face a club with absolutely zero motivation for a victory. Southend has managed to score a total of 4 goals over their last 2 victories, but this followed 3 goalless matches.
Win both halves
It’s a value bet. This wager presents us with excellent odds that we think do not correspond to the reality of this match. Newport is the favourite to win the game but, for them to win both halves, we get 5/1. It may be too good to be true, but we are sticking to this prediction.

Our betting preview of the Southend vs Newport fixture
With 20 wins, 12 draws, and 13 losses, Newport is headed in the right direction and they are just a point away from securing a playoff spot in League Two. They will try to leave League Two for next season.
Southend will also leave League Two next season but that’s because they are being relegated to the National League. With 21 defeats out of 45 matches, this is well-deserved. Despite riding a 2-game win streak, we don’t see The Shrimpers getting any points in that match.
