Fleetwood will be looking to maintain their perfect start to the campaign when they welcome Gillingham in League Two round two. Following a 1-0 EFL Cup win over Chesterfield, the Cod Army defeated the same opponents in their league opener, showing strong defensive resilience. Fleetwood have lost only twice in their last 10 matches and have scored in all of their last five. Kane Thompson-Sommers is doubtful after picking up a knock in the season opener.
Gillingham, meanwhile, aim to bounce back from a heavy 3-0 defeat to Walsall, with the Gills struggling badly at the back. They have won only two of their last 10 matches and have conceded 2.20 goals per game during that period. Their away record is particularly worrying, with no wins in their last five away games and an average of 2.40 goals conceded per match. Little, Gordon, and Goodwin all picked up knocks in the opener.
The Cod Army have won their last two matches, while Gillingham are winless in their last five away games. Therefore, our main prediction leans toward Home Win, alongside Fleetwood Over 1.5 and Over 1.5 goals total (74% of the previous 19 H2H meetings produced at least two goals, while Gillingham concede 2.40 per away game recently).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 15:00.
