Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Doncaster will look to extend their winning run to three games in all competitions when they take on Gillingham in the League Two round 5. The Donny have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against the Gills. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be veteran forward Billy Sharp, who was rested in the EFL Trophy victory over Huddersfield Town on Tuesday evening.
The visitors, meanwhile, were beaten by Doncaster in each of their last two meetings at Eco-Power Stadium, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to South Yorkshire. You should bear in mind that in their last meeting at the venue Doncaster defeated Gillingham 2-1.
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.
Priestfield Stadium is the club’s home ground, with the venue holding up to 11,582 spectators. Gillingham City have been playing at the stadium since the club’s foundation. 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.
Former goalkeeper Roy Hillyard is the Gillingham City player with the most appearances. The English shot-stopper played for Gillingham City from 1974 to 1991, making 655 appearances for the club. Brian Yeo is the team’s all-time top scorer, netting 149 goals in 387 appearances for the club from 1963 to 1975.
