Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Having shared the spoils with Fleetwood at the weekend, Gillingham will look to return to winning ways in League Two when they face Chesterfield on Saturday afternoon. The Gills made a promising start to the season and a win over the newcomers will see them retain top position in the standings. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of the visit of Chesterfield.
Paul Cook’s troops, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with ten-man Salford City, but given their excellent performance in a 5-0 crushing of Crewe, both teams to score betting option should be considered. You should bear in mind that both sides have found the net in each of their last four encounters. A man to watch in the away team will be James Berry-McNally, who has been scoring goals for fun in the new League Two campaign.
