Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Gillingham and Doncaster face each other at Priestfield Stadium on day 40 of the 2022/2023 League Two campaign. The Gills aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Barrow, and you should know that they are eyeing their fourth consecutive home win. The Gills are nine points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that they should be happy with one point from Friday’s clash. Both Hawkins and Tutonda are pushing for spots in the starting XI after the duo came off the bench in the last league match.
Meanwhile, the Donny suffered a dip in form, with Crewe ruining their playoffs hopes. Anyhow, both teams should be happy with one point from the match. James Brown has been struggling with injury of late, with fellow defender Joseph Olowu joining him in the recovery room at the weekend. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last three meetings in all competitions.
