Prediction: 1-0
Accrington
Gillingham will be aiming to extend their winning run to five games in all competitions (including friendlies) when they face Accrington at Priestfield Stadium on Matchday 2. The Gills kicked off the new campaign in style, with the team beating Stockport thanks to Robbie McKenzie’s goal and their performance in the EFL Cup triumph (3-1) over Southampton gave them yet another confidence boost. McKenzie should keep his place in the starting XI as he has been scoring goals for fun of late, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Accy Stanley, on the other hand, aim to recover from the EFL Cup defeat, but given Gillingham’s fine form at the season beginning, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. A man to watch in the away team will be Korede Adedoyin, who has earned himself a spot in the starting XI thanks to his brilliant performance against Newport County.
