Newport County travel to face Swindon Town in the EFL Trophy group stage on Tuesday evening. The match at the County Ground kicks off at 6pm UTC as part of Group South 5.
Graham Coughlan's side head to Wiltshire after a 0-0 draw away at Accrington Stanley last Saturday. That result extended Newport's unbeaten run in all competitions to two matches. They currently sit 19th in the League Two table, having taken six points from their opening seven fixtures.
Swindon Town have lost their last three matches, including a 1-0 defeat at Salford City in League Two on the same day Newport drew at Accrington. Their previous EFL Trophy outing was a 2-1 home loss to a Crystal Palace Under-21 side.
Newport County are expected to make changes for the Trophy fixture, with their next League Two match at home to third-placed Grimsby Town coming up on Saturday.
The Exiles' last starting lineup, in the 3-4-2-1 formation used at Accrington, featured Jonny Wright in goal behind a back three of Lewis Jenkins, Kyle Cameron and Joe Thomas. Midfielders Matt Dibley-Dias and Charlie Brennan were paired in the centre, with Matty Jacob and Harry Biggins providing width. Kiban Evans supported striker Christian Doidge, who scored in the 1-1 draw with Fleetwood Town earlier this month.
A positive result in Swindon would provide momentum ahead of the weekend's league encounter at Rodney Parade.
