Our prediction for this match: Accrington 1 - 2 Gillingham
Accrington vs Gillingham Preview
The Wham Stadium will host Saturday's League Two clash as Accrington Stanley look to extend their unbeaten run to five league matches. Stanley were held to a goalless draw by Oldham at the weekend, despite remaining competitive, and will hope to turn their recent resilience into another home victory. Seamus Conneely picked up a knock in that encounter, so Aidan Borland could be called upon to step up. Accrington have averaged 1.83 goals per home game in the supplied sample, suggesting they have the attacking potential to trouble the visitors.
Gillingham, meanwhile, arrive full of confidence after thrashing Rotherham 4-1, a result that could provide a springboard in their push for automatic promotion. The Gills have been scoring regularly and will aim to maintain that momentum, although both Little and Waldock are doubtful after picking up knocks in their latest outing. Their away form has been encouraging, and they should pose a serious threat to an Accrington defence that has not always been watertight.
Accrington have seen both teams score in 67% of their recent home matches, while the Gills have averaged 2.25 goals per away game. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Over 2.5 goals, alongside BTTS and Gillingham to win (fine display at Rotherham).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday, 17 October 2026 at 15:00.
