Gillingham and Cambridge United take on Priestfield Stadium in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter, with 1-1 our predicted outcome. The Gills have drawn four of their last five matches but continue to struggle creatively, scoring just 1.20 goals per home game while conceding 2.00. Their defensive issues are reflected in a high home xGA of 1.67, and despite an encouraging overall BTTS rate of 70%, their lack of cutting edge often limits them. On the positive side, there are no fresh injury worries for Gareth Ainsworth's men following the narrow 2–1 loss to Fleetwood.
The U's, on the other hand, are unbeaten in five and coming off a confident 2–0 win over Accrington. Even without forward Kylian Kouassi, who remains sidelined, they look well-balanced and defensively solid. Their away record shows consistency rather than explosiveness: they average 1.40 points per game on the road, conceding just 0.60 goals per away match, backed up by an away xGA of 1.15. With four straight away draws, they’ve proven difficult to break down.
Cambridge concede very little, and past H2H meetings have all gone under. Therefore, we believe that there is big value in betting on Under 2.5 goals. Additionally, Half-Time Draw and Draw bets should be considered.
This League 2 match will be played on Friday 26 December 2025 at 15:00.
