Prediction: 0-0
Morecambe
After sharing the spoils with AFC Wimbledon, Gillingham will be looking to record their first win of the season when they take on Morecambe on Matchday 4. The Gills had no more than five goal attempts in the 1-1 draw with the Dons, but keep in mind that defender David Tutonda was sent off after 72 minutes. The 25-year-old DR Congo international is banned for the Morecambe game, while John Akinde remains in the recovery room with a long-term injury.
The Shrimps, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs at the start of the season, with the team sharing the spoils with Ipswich, beating Shrewsbury, while losing to Rotherham. Since Morecambe have been playing some low-scoring games of late as well, we are tempted to put our money on under 2.5 goals. Jonathan Obika should be the only absentee in the away team.
