Gillingham and Bristol Rovers will face each other at Priestfield Stadium in what promises to be an entertaining League Two encounter. The Gills aim to build on back-to-back wins over Rochdale and Tranmere, scoring six goals in the process and boosting their confidence. They have won 33% of their last 6 home games, while McCleary and Sillah are pushing for starts. Waldock and Hale are doubtful after picking up knocks.
The Pirates, meanwhile, saw their four-game winning run come to an end with a 2-0 defeat to Grimsby. Bristol Rovers have won just 25% of their last 4 away matches, scoring 1.25 goals per game. Key midfielder Tommy Leigh is suspended, which could have a significant impact on the visitors and makes an away win difficult to back.
Gillingham head into Saturday's game on the back of two convincing victories, while Bristol Rovers are without Leigh and have struggled on the road. Therefore, Home Win is our main betting tip for this League Two matchup, alongside Over 1.5 goals and BTTS (Both teams scored in 62% of their last 13 encounters, while Gillingham’s away games have seen BTTS in 75% of their recent sample).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 19 September 2026 at 15:00.
