Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Gillingham and Barrow square off against each other at Priestfield Stadium in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The Gills suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Harrogate and Bradford City in the previous two league matches and, as a result, they missed out on a spot in the playoffs berth. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, are eager to stay in the playoffs berth. Barrow, though, were not at their sharpest in back-to-back defeats to Morecambe and Swindon, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. As for the away team, all Newby, Aquah, and Warren are pushing for a start after the trio came off the bench in the last league fixture.
Highlighted Team (Gillingham):
Founded back in 1893, Gillingham FC are an English club that compete in the League One. The Gills are well known for their blue shirts with black stripes, but they wear white shirts with a little yellow and blue, and yellow shirts when playing on the travels.

Speaking of the club’s main rivals, over the years the Gills have built up a rivalry to Swindon Town. However, it has to be noted that Swindon fans do not consider Gillingham their biggest rivals.
