Prediction: 1-1
Carlisle
Gillingham play host to Carlisle United at their Priestfield Stadium in the opening match of the season. The Gills were producing fine displays in preseason and they surely want to continue where they left. Summer signing Jacob Wakeling is likely to play his first official match for his new club against the Cumbrians. Carlisle United, on the other hand, did well to beat Stockport County in their last warm-up game, but defeating Gillingham at Priestfield Stadium is easier said than done.
Taking everything into account, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in the season opener. Experienced attacker Charles Wyke is widely expected to make his Carlisle United debut against Gillingham. In their last meeting in the League Two the Gills defeated the Cumbrians 1-0 thanks to Shaun Williams’ late goal and yet another low-scoring game is on the cards.
Highlighted Team (Gillingham):
Founded back in 1893, Gillingham FC are an English club that compete in the League One. The Gills are well known for their blue shirts with black stripes, but they wear white shirts with a little yellow and blue, and yellow shirts when playing on the travels.
