Prediction: 2-2
Gillingham
Bolton will look to make amends for a 3-0 loss to Plymouth when they host Gillingham to their University of Bolton Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Trotters have been struggling at the back of late, but it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to put an end to their three-game losing run. Bolton are four points behind the playoffs berth, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Gills.
Gillingham, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Doncaster which saw them put an end to their three-match losing run. The visitors aim to escape the danger zone, and seeing that they will go for a win in Saturday’s clash as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Gambia midfielder Mustapha Carayol should miss out through injury for the away team.
