Newport County begin League Two Week 2 with a trip to Bristol Rovers, a team managed by promotion favorite Steve Evans. The Gasmen aim to bounce back from a 3-2 defeat to York City, while Newport, who avoided relegation last season, seek to build on their 3-0 victory over Rochdale. Stats show both teams struggled with possession (Bristol Rovers 29.7%, Newport 32.8%) and low efforts on target, with Newport recording six shots compared to Bristol's three. The match at Memorial Stadium kicks off at 12:30 on Sky Sports+.
Cheltenham Town, who opened with a 2-1 win over Rotherham, face Swindon Town in a local derby. Swindon, having failed to register a shot on target in their opener, will look to improve at County Ground. The game starts at 15:00 without TV coverage, but BBC Radio Wiltshire will provide commentary.
York City, newly promoted, travel to Rotherham United in a Yorkshire derby. Rotherham, who lost 2-1 to Cheltenham despite 60% possession, will need better finishing. The match at LNER Community Stadium starts at 15:00 with no TV or radio coverage, though BBC Radio York will offer updates.
