Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Stevenage
Match Time & Date:
02/01/2023
16:00
Prediction: 3-1
Gillingham
Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Crawley Town, Stevenage will look to kick off 2023 in style when they face Gillingham on Monday. The Boro are after their 11th home win of the process, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Elliot List remains in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team. The opposition back-line should pay attention to towering defender Carl Piergianni, who scored a brace after set pieces against the Red Devils.
Meanwhile, the Gills are stuck at the bottom with only 14 points on their account. The rock-bottom side have been totally out of form of late, and given their difficulties in front of goal, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. French forward Mikael Mandron is widely expected to return to Gillingham’s starting XI.
