Prediction: 1-1
Gillingham
Bristol Rovers and Gillingham, the two bottom table sides, face each other at Memorial Park in what is expected to be a close encounter. Bristol Rovers did well to crush Darlington 6-0 in the FA Cup at the weekend, meaning that they are high on confidence ahead of the League One clash. The Pirates aim to escape the danger zone, and, one thing is for sure, they will fight tooth and nail against Gillingham.
The Gills, on the other hand, occupy 13th position in the standings ahead of Matchday 15. The visitors aim to make amends for the FA Cup defeat to Exeter, but beating Bristol Rovers at Memorial Park is easier said than done. As previously mentioned, a close game is on the cards, and we believe that punters can find value in betting on draw this time out.
