Prediction: 2-1
Burton
Gillingham and Burton Albion go head to head at Priestfield Stadium in the League One round 23. Gillingham suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing to both Northampton and Plymouth on the road. The Gills aim to regain their spot in the top half of the table, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash. It has to be noted that Gillingham are eyeing their fifth home win of the season.
The Brewers, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-1 loss to Oxford United, with the team extending their losing run to five games. Burton are low on confidence, and seeing that Gillingham are eager to get back on course in the League One, we are tempted to put our money on the home team.
