Our call
1–1
Tranmere are in the same League Two band. Rodney at 3pm, Bisley on the gate, is still a home point more often than a home win. 11/10 County is short for a side that draws these. The 23/10 draw is the one that matches 90 minutes.

Preview
Kick-off and tickets
Newport County v Tranmere Rovers, Saturday 15:00 at Rodney Parade. From £18. The Bisley end still takes cash on the gate. Under-18s from £10.
How to get there
Ten minutes from Newport station on the flat if you use the High Street. Both lifts at the station are out until Tuesday — stairs or the subway. The A465 westbound closure is overnight, not at 3pm. If you are driving, the Somerton and Spytty parks fill from 1.30.
A pint first
The Murenger does not show the match — walk to the ground. After the whistle, County’s own bar is the one that stays with the home crowd. Tiny Rebel is in Rogerstone; it is not the 2.15 empty-out from High Street.
Likely XI — County
Wright; Thomas, Brennan, Baker, Glennon; Sprangler; Kamwa, Jarvis, Garner, Spellman; Crole. Named about an hour before kick-off. 90 minutes; the bench is the rest of the match.
Out
No fresh first-team outs listed this morning. Kamwa is in the 11 with a knock that has not kept him out. Tranmere travel a full 18.
Prediction
County 1–1 Tranmere. Rodney at 3pm is a home point more often than a home win against a side in the same League Two band.
