Millwall (predicted 4-2-3-1)
Newport County — last 10 competitive
Trend: Tight margins — six of the last ten saw both teams score; chance creation improving (7.8 shots per game across the sample) but defensive leaks linger.
Millwall — last 10 competitive
Trend: Streetwise on the road and decisive in one-goal games; defensive structure travelling well into the new season.
Newport at home (last 5 competitive)
- Record: 0-3-2
- Goals: 3 for / 8 against (0.6/1.6 per game)
- Clean sheets: 1
- Quirk: Three draws, two 1–1s — suggests resilience but limited cutting edge at Rodney Parade late last season/early this.
Millwall away (last 5 competitive)
- Record: 2-0-3
- Goals: 5 for / 7 against (1.0/1.4 per game)
- Clean sheets: 1
- Quirk: Four of five decided by one goal; set-play presence travels (Cooper/Crama).
Newport County
- Gerard Garner — mobile focal point; scored at Crawley and thrives on early service and second balls.
- Kai Whitmore — carries the ball through midfield and times runs into the area; link between deep block and the No.9.
Millwall
- Camiel Neghli — the creative 10; opened the scoring at Norwich and finds pockets between the lines.
- Jake Cooper — aerial anchor and set-piece threat; key to Millwall’s organisation on away days.
Key duel: Gerard Garner vs Jake Cooper — Newport’s physical No.9 against one of the Championship’s most dominant centre-halves. If Garner can pin Cooper and draw fouls, the Exiles gain territory; if Cooper controls the box, Millwall’s counter and set-piece game swings the tie.
Prediction: Newport County 0–1 Millwall (away win)
Millwall’s recent form line (7W from 10) and defensive control on the road point to a narrow victory, especially with their athletic back four and threats from Neghli/Azeez in transition. Newport struggle to consistently turn home territory into wins at Rodney Parade.
- Main pick: Millwall to win —they are pretty resilient and class should prevail.
- Value bet: Under 2.5 goals
