Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Gillingham will be looking to put an end to their three-match losing run when they take on Harrogate in the League Two round 7. The Gills suffered a dip in form, but they are still sitting in automatic promotion places. Tom Nichols limped off with injury in a 2-0 loss to Grimsby at the weekend, with Macauley Bonne likely to step up.
The Sulphurites, on the other hand, suffered four defeats in the previous five league matches. Considering that the visitors are eager to return to winning ways as well, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. Forwad Abraham Odoh is widely expected to return to Harrogate’s starting XI as the visitors are eager to pick up all three points from the match. Midfielder Matty Daly is pushing for a start as well.
Highlighted Player (Stuart O\'Keefe):
Stuart O’keefe is a an English footballer who started his senior career at Southend United. In August 2010 O’Keefe signed a one-year deal with Crystal Palace after impressing coach George Burley in a trial game against West Ham reserves.

After his loan spells with Milton Keynes Dons, Portsmouth and Plymouth Argyle, O’Keefe moved to Gillingham at the end of the 2018/2019 season. He made his League One debut with the club on August 3, 2019 in a 1-1 draw with Doncaster Rovers. His main position is central midfield, but he is used as both defensive and attacking midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right.

Harrogate Town is an English club that welcomes their rivals at Wetherby Road. Opened on August 28, 1920, the venue can hold up to 5,000 spectators (500 seated). The club was founded back in 1914, with the Sulphurties facing Horsforth in their first competitive match on August 30, 1919.
