1.55Tip and bets
Wimbledon will jeopardize their place in the playoff zone if they make a mistake in today match, but a win will allow them to distance themselves from their pursuers - the visitors will clearly have plenty of motivation. It is unlikely that Newport will be able to stay clean in this situation, they have no reliability in defense, but at the same time the "brave" will also take risks at home - they managed to score in the opponent goal in the last six matches, and the hosts will probably respond with one goal today.

Bet on the outcome
Wimbledon is undoubtedly the favorite and will play only to win - the guests have a solid advantage in terms of player selection. It is unlikely that the match will be easy for the guests, Newport will be maximally motivated after two defeats in a row, but the guests are quite capable of snatching their three points - the "brave" lack stability even at home, one victory in the last five home matches clearly testifies to this.
