Projected final score: 2-1<\/h3>

AFC Wimbledon carry genuine momentum into this tie, having beaten Newport 2-1 at Rodney Parade in January 2025 and holding a 6-3<\/strong> advantage in the broader head-to-head series. With Johnnie Jackson declaring his squad ready and pre-season wins over Championship sides Coventry and Charlton, the hosts are priced as clear favourites at 1.66<\/a>, and that confidence looks well-founded against a Newport side making a competitive debut under brand-new manager Hayden Mullins.<\/p>

A 2-1 scoreline reflects a low-to-moderate goal environment shaped by both squads operating below full strength. Wimbledon are missing Goma, Kirby, and Hedges, while Newport lose Crole and face cohesion issues with eight new signings. Expect Wimbledon to control the game without running away with it, and Newport to nick one on the counter, keeping the total tight at 2.06.<\/p>
