Newport County vs Walsall
FA Cup 2026-2027 
Predictions
Newport County are having a rough run right now, having lost three of their last four games and only managing a draw in their most recent outing. Walsall, on the other hand, look to be in better shape, winning several of their recent matches and coming off a scoreless draw. So the visitors seem to have the edge in current form.
These two teams have met plenty of times, and those games have often been lively - some ended with lots of goals, including a couple of high-scoring draws. That makes it feel like an open match that could swing either way. Given Walsall's stronger recent form, they look the more likely to come out on top, though Newport at home could keep it tight.
