Prediction: 2-1
Newport County
Gillingham will be looking to make amends for a 2-1 defeat to Bradford when they host Newport County at Priestfield Stadium. Both teams have seen a dip in form recently, but Gillingham’s solid home displays give them the edge in the midweek clash. The Gills will likely welcome forward Marcus Wyllie back into the starting XI after his appearance as a substitute last time out, and his return could prove to be handful for the opposition defenders.
Newport County, on the other hand, are on a dreadful losing run on the road, with four consecutive away defeats, and it has to be noted that they failed to score in their last two league games. Despite having no new injury concerns, the Exiles have struggled to pose a threat in the final third, which could be their undoing here. Given Newport’s dismal away form and Gillingham’s home advantage, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home side.
