Prediction: 1-0
Gillingham
Coventry City were on the verge of suffering a loss to Portsmouth in the League One derby on Tuesday evening, but Mark Robins’ men showed character and scored a late equalizer with nine men on the field. The Sky Blues must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Gillingham, but you should bear in mind that they will be without suspended duo Gervane Kastaneer – Fankaty Dabo in Saturday’s football match.
The Gills, on the other hand, have yet to record a win in the new League One campaign and despite the fact that Coventry City coach Mark Robins can’t count on two first-team regulars for the St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium clash, we do not believe that there is a big value in betting on the away team. Coventry City have been producing fine performances of late, therefore, home win should be considered.
Highlighted Player (Ousseynou Cisse):
Born in Suresnes, France on April 7, 1991, Ousseynou Cisse is a defensive midfielder who plays for Gillingham in the League One. After spending his youth career at Jouy-le-Moutier, Paris Saint-Germain and Amiens, Cisse continued playing for les Licornes at senior level, making 36 league appearances for the club.
The 195-cm-tall footballer played for the likes of Dijon, Rayo Vallecano, Wassland-Beveren (loan), Tours and Milton Keynes Dons as well before signing a deal with League One side Gillingham in the summer of 2019.
Ousseynou Cisse joined the Gills on a free transfer effective and he is expected to make his League One debut August 3, 2019, when Gillingham kick off the new season with a match against Doncaster Rovers at the Keepmoat Stadium. The French player is mostly used as a defensive midfielder, but he is capable of producing fine performances as a centre-back as well.
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.

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.
