Rotherham - Newport
Rotherham United look to halt slide against Newport County
Tuesday 20 October 2026 brings Rotherham United and Newport County together at New York Stadium for matchday 12 of the League Two season. The hosts enter this encounter looking to arrest a difficult run of form that has seen them struggle for consistency in recent weeks. Having suffered a 2-0 defeat against Fleetwood Town in their most recent outing, Rotherham United will be eager to regain their composure and find a much-needed result on home soil.
Newport County arrive in a more stable position, having avoided defeat in their last four league fixtures. Their recent 1-1 draw with York City followed a narrow 1-0 victory over Colchester United, highlighting a resilience that has become a hallmark of their campaign. While Rotherham United search for a spark to reignite their season, the visitors will aim to extend their unbeaten league streak and capitalise on their opponents' current defensive vulnerabilities.
