Overall, we have two teams with terrible forms and this match could easily go in favor of either side. Nevertheless, Newport are the much better team overall and we think that they will want to win their final game at home. Rochdale are on a streak of six consecutive defeats on the road, most of which against weak teams, so Newport will be a serious challenge for them.

Newport vs Rochdale: Form, Recent Games, and News

Newport Preview

Newport had a bad start this season and then suddenly improved into one of the top sides in the entire league. They had an incredible streak of games without a defeat but that changed once again in the past couple of months. From the playoff zone, the team fell all the way down to the middle of the table and this is where they will end. Nevertheless, this squad has a lot of potential and should be a main contender next season.

Rochdale Preview

Rochdale have had one main problem this entire season – their huge number of draws. The team had 17 in 45 games to date and this is mainly due to their weak attack. As long as they improve this before the upcoming campaign, they could even be a promotion contender. The team has fewer defeats than half of the league but that huge accumulation of draws kept them away from the three points too many times.
