Salford City - Newport

Salford City host Newport County on 1 September 2026 for this League Two matchday 4 encounter at Peninsula Stadium. Both sides enter the fixture looking to establish momentum in the early stages of the season, with the home side aiming to find their rhythm after a challenging start to their league campaign. The two clubs have shared a competitive history in recent years, including a 3-1 victory for Newport County when they last visited in February 2026.

Salford City are currently navigating a difficult run, having suffered three consecutive league defeats, most recently a 1-0 loss to Shrewsbury Town. Newport County arrive with slightly more varied form, following a 2-2 draw against Tranmere Rovers and a high-scoring 5-3 defeat at the hands of Bristol Rovers. With both teams eager to secure a positive result to climb the table, defensive discipline will likely be the deciding factor in this midweek clash.
