Newport - Grimsby
Newport County face Grimsby Town at Rodney Parade
Saturday at Rodney Parade, Newport County host Grimsby Town for matchday 8 of the League Two season. The two sides last met in February 2026, when they played out a goalless draw in the league. With both clubs looking to establish consistency in the early stages of the campaign, this encounter serves as a pivotal test of their respective ambitions within the division.
Newport County enter the fixture following a 2-0 victory against Swindon Town in the EFL Trophy, providing a boost after a challenging spell in the league. Conversely, Grimsby Town arrive with momentum in their domestic form, having secured back-to-back league victories against Crawley Town and Bristol Rovers. While Grimsby have proven difficult to beat in recent weeks, Newport will aim to leverage home advantage to disrupt the visitors' steady climb up the table.
