Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Gillingham will be aiming to put an end to their three-game losing run in the League Two when they take on Matchday 26. The Gills suffered a dip in form, but Saturday’s clash could be the turning point for Mark Bonner’s troops. All Little, Clarke, and Hutton are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Cod Army, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Doncaster. As both Fleetwood and Gillingham are determined to return to winning ways in the League Two, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Mathew Virtue-Thick is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the last league match. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in six of the previous seven meetings between the two sides in all competitions.
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.
Priestfield Stadium is the club’s home ground, with the venue holding up to 11,582 spectators. Gillingham City have been playing at the stadium since the club’s foundation. Speaking of the club’s main rivals, over the years the Gills have built up a rivalry to Swindon Town. However, it has to be noted that Swindon fans do not consider Gillingham their biggest rivals.
Former goalkeeper Roy Hillyard is the Gillingham City player with the most appearances. The English shot-stopper played for Gillingham City from 1974 to 1991, making 655 appearances for the club. Brian Yeo is the team’s all-time top scorer, netting 149 goals in 387 appearances for the club from 1963 to 1975.
