Yeovil vs Newport preview
Friday 29 March 2019 15:48, UK
Yeovil begin life after Darren Way when they host Newport in Sky Bet League Two.
Way was fired in the wake of the loss at MK Dons last weekend and Neale Marmon is in caretaker charge.
Marmon will assess Rhys Browne (hamstring) and Alex Pattison (back) will be monitored after missing out against the Dons. The Glovers have lost 10 of their last 12 games to sit two points above the drop zone.
Newport will have midfielder Keanu Marsh-Brown back from international duty for Guyana. Forward Ben Kennedy, signed on loan from Stevenage, has missed the last four matches as he recovers from a toe problem, so continues to be assessed.
Full-back Tyler Forbes has joined National League outfit Salford on loan until the end of the season. Defender Fraser Franks has been forced to end his playing career on medical advice due to a heart issue.
Opta stats
Yeovil Town have won two of their three home games against Newport County in League Two, but did lose this fixture 0-2 in March last season.
Newport's 6-0 defeat at home to Yeovil in the reverse meeting between the two sides in September 2018 ended their three-match winning run over the Glovers; the result remains their heaviest Football League defeat since a 0-6 loss at Bolton in April 1988, and heaviest ever on home soil.
Yeovil have lost 10 of their last 12 league games (W2), losing each of the last four in a row without scoring.
Newport have lost 10 of their last 11 away league games (W1), including each of the last three without finding the net.
Padraig Amond has been directly involved in 11 of Newport's last 16 league goals, scoring eight and assisting three.
