Newport face Barnet in the League Two of England on December 26. Kickoff is scheduled for 15:00 UTC.
As Newport and Barnet renew their battle, the memory of Newport's win in the penalty shootout in their League Cup face-off from 4 months ago still lingers. Newport come into this game on the back of a challenging run, with recent defeats at the hands of Oldham Athletic, Shrewsbury, Exeter and Walsall. They have several key matches to navigate before facing Barnet though, including Colchester, Fleetwood Town, Crewe and Barrow in League Two, fixtures that are likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Barnet. Focusing on defensive improvements could pave the way for better results, as their backline remains a concern, conceding goals in their last ten home matches in a row.
Barnet head into this fixture following three draws in a row against Gillingham, Cambridge United and Milton Keynes Dons. Before facing Newport, they will face Salford City, Chesterfield, Bristol Rovers and Harrogate Town in League Two. Their performances across these fixtures could be a key factor in their preparations for Newport.
This League Two encounter highlights the attacking players who have stood out for Newport and Barnet throughout the campaign, even in challenging moments.
