Newport suffered a 2-1 defeat by Carlisle, however they were lucky as Hartpool also lost and so there was no problem with the score. It is at +2 from Hartpool and is saved either by its own victory or simply by a better result than Hartpool.
Notts County, although indifferent, did the damage by beating Blackpool 1-0 in the final, in a game that was not good but lucky. It is below the middle of the standings, while even with a victory it can not overcome the 1st place.
Sure, Newport can be saved even with a defeat today, but I do not think it will get there. Hartpool can play at home with the champion Doncaster, but Doncaster is going from defeat to defeat last and I do not rule out Hartpool to fight it until the final. So, the gels are forbidden for Newport ... Of course everything is theoretical and they can always come up and down, however I take the risk to bet on the ace at 1,95 ...
