Crawley
Priestfield Stadium will host Tuesday’s football game between Gillingham and Crawley Town, the two teams who are almost level on points in the League Two standings. The Gills aim to move closer to the playoffs places and they should take advantage of Crawley’s poor form. Both Nichols and Nadesan are pushing for a start, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Mansfield Town and AFC Wimbledon in the previous two league matches. As Crawley Town have been struggling at the back of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Midfielder Liam Kelly limped off with injury in the defeat to AFC Wimbledon, with Ronan Darcy likely to replace him in the starting XI.
