Gillingham are desperate to get their season moving after a frustrating start that has brought three games without a win and, more worryingly, no goals scored. The Gills were held to a goalless draw by Fleetwood in their latest outing and will need to improve in the final third. Their home record offers some encouragement, with two wins from their last five, but they have conceded an average of 2.00 goals per game across their last 10 matches. Kadeem Harris is doubtful after picking up a knock against Fleetwood, with Conor McManus likely to step in.
Northampton, meanwhile, are also searching for their first victory of the campaign after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Crewe. The Cobblers did create opportunities, registering 15 goal attempts, but once again failed to find the net. Their recent form is extremely worrying, with Northampton losing nine of their last 10 matches and scoring only 0.50 goals per game during that spell. They have also conceded 2.20 goals per game, leaving plenty of room for improvement at both ends of the pitch.
Gillingham are yet to score this season, while Northampton average only 0.50 goals per game across their last 10. Therefore, Under 2.5 goals seems like a sure bet, alongside Half-Time Draw and Draw.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 29 August 2026 at 15:00.
