Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Following a 1-0 loss to Doncaster Rovers, Gillingham will look to return to winning ways in League Two when they face Tranmere Rovers on Saturday afternoon. The Gills aim to keep their 100% record at home intact, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, forward Elliott Nevitt should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Super Whites, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Walsall and Carlisle. As Tranmere looked sharp in front of goal in their last league match, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. A man to watch in the away team will be Omari Patrick, who scored a brace in the last league match, while fellow attacker Harvey Saunders is pushing for a start.
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.
