Two teams that have made contrasting starts to the 2026-27 EFL League Two season, Bristol Rovers and Newport, are set to battle it out at the Memorial Stadium. Drawing a line under their opening defeat, Bristol have won their last two league encounters in this fixture and our prediction sees them picking up maximum points in front of their home crowd.
Bristol Rovers' underwhelming start to the 2026-27 campaign has undeniably placed early pressure on their shoulders. Among the ten teams that have yet to register a point, they currently occupy 15th place in the league standings.
The Pirates are two games without a win so far. Their first demise came against Peterborough, losing 1-0 at home in the first round of the EFL Cup.
After that, newly promoted York City proved too tough for them in their league opener, succumbing to a narrow 3-2 defeat.
Newport are sitting in second place in the league standings with three points to their name and enter this clash aiming to build on their perfect start.
Summer signings Kyle Cameron, Shaq Gwengwe, and Yahya Bamba got on the scoresheet as they secured a 3-0 home win against a below-par Rochdale.
The outcome was a confidence booster for the Exiles, who began their first competitive match of the season on the wrong foot, losing 5-4 on penalties to AFC Wimbledon in the first round of the EFL Cup.
