Wrexham vs Newport County Prediction: Wrexham can move to 2nd place

Wrexham will welcome Newport County at Racecourse Ground, Wrexham in Game Week 23 of the English League Two. With some luck, Wrexham can move to second place in the League Two table. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Recently, Wrexham has faced some challenges, but they managed to secure a victory last Saturday, maintaining a slight one-point lead over Mansfield Town in the race for the final automatic promotion spot in League One. Throughout the League Two season, the Racecourse Ground has proven to be a favourable venue for Wrexham as they have suffered only one domestic loss there and won five consecutive matches with a combined score of 15-5. Scoring goals has never been an issue for Phil Parkinson's team, as they have scored the second-highest number of goals in the league this season (44), including three or more goals in seven home matches. No team has been able to prevent Wrexham from scoring on their home field in League Two, and they have not fallen behind domestically at the Racecourse Ground since their comeback victory against Salford City in October (3-2). To defeat Wrexham, it is important to gain an early advantage, as two of their three League Two defeats this season occurred when they were trailing at halftime, with their other loss being a scoreless match against Accrington Stanley (2-0). This Saturday will mark Wrexham's first encounter with Newport County in League Two, and in their last four home matches against Newport County in all competitions, Wrexham has failed to score in three of them, with their last victory being a 2-0 win during the 2012-13 National League campaign.

The club from Southern Wales missed another opportunity last weekend, as they once again took the lead in this competition but failed to secure three points. This has happened three times this season, with two of those occasions being on their home field. Their defensive vulnerability away from home has been evident throughout the domestic campaign, as they have conceded multiple goals in eight matches, including four where they conceded three or more goals. Their last two away victories came against teams in the top half of the table, Gillingham and Morecambe, but they have suffered 10 defeats this season as the visiting team. Despite this, under the management of Graham Coughlan, they have shown resilience by earning five points from losing positions and gaining 10 points after conceding the first goal. This fighting spirit has helped them stay clear of the relegation zone, currently sitting 11 points above that line, although they have played more games than Forest Green Rovers.

Newport may expose Wrexham's defensive vulnerability, but thanks to their strong attacking depth, we remain confident that they will once again overcome this weakness and find a solution. Expect it to be a high-scoring affair.
