Forest Green will not risk George Williams for the final game of the regular season at home to Exeter.

Rovers have already booked their spot in the Sky Bet League Two play-offs and could meet Exeter again next week. Williams missed the 4-3 defeat at Crewe last weekend with a twisted ankle.

Rovers boss Mark Cooper expects the Wales international to be available for the first play-off game and has a full squad at his disposal on Saturday.

Exeter will likely join Forest Green in the play-offs if they can better Newport's result. The Grecians will wait until the last moment to see whether midfielder Nicky Law can be involved in Gloucestershire.

Law, Exeter's player of the season, came off during the 1-0 win over Oldham with a dead leg and his condition is said to be improving on a daily basis. Striker Jonathan Forte could return to the bench after nearly a month out with knee trouble.

Prutton's prediction

Five teams can still finish seventh and qualify for the League Two play-offs. Newport currently occupy seventh spot on 70 points, while Exeter are a point behind on 69. Colchester, Carlisle and Stevenage all have 67 and all three have a better goal difference than Newport.

Final days are always unpredictable, but Newport are on such good form at the moment and I think they will win at Morecambe on Saturday and hold on to their position in the play-offs.
