Gillingham and Colchester face each other at Priestfield Stadium in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter, with our prediction leaning toward a 1-1 draw. The Gills head into Monday's clash with key midfielder Bradley Dack back in the starting XI after a brief 26-minute appearance in a 1-1 draw with Cambridge United. Their home form has been anything but brilliant with just 0.80 PPG, scoring 1.20 goals per game and conceding 1.80, but they have shown potential for goals with an 80% BTTS rate at home and an expected goals of 1.65. Overall, Gillingham’s attack can threaten, though shaky defence remains a concern.
The U's, meanwhile, have been in better shape recently, collecting 1.70 PPG overall and averaging 1.70 goals scored per match. Their away performances have been particularly effective, scoring 2.25 goals per game with an expected goals of 1.08, and keeping 25% clean sheets. They have been involved in open contests, evidenced by a 75% BTTS rate on the road, and are looking to build on recent momentum. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
As both teams regularly see goals, BTTS market seems appealing, alongside Over 1.5 goals (64% H2H) and Colchester or Draw as the Gills' struggles make this a close matchup.
This League 2 match will be played on Monday 29 December 2025 at 19:45.
