I'm backing Newport County 1–1 Walsall on 7 November 2026 at 18:00. Newport come into this FA Cup tie off the back of a 4–1 League Two win over Chesterfield, and I like their attacking intent at Rodney Parade. They've scored in each of their last six home games, which tells me they won't sit deep. Shaquille Gwengwe is available again after suspension, giving them fresh attacking options. Walsall, though, are no pushover. I've watched their recent form closely—they won 3–1 at Colchester and have lost only once in 13 League Two matches. Their away record is particularly strong, with goals in all four recent road games. I expect both sides to create chances here, which is why I'm drawn to the draw.
