Our prediction for this match: Gillingham 1 - 0 Port Vale
Gillingham vs Port Vale Preview
Gillingham will look to recover from a 3-1 defeat at Accrington when they take on Port Vale at Priestfield Stadium. The Gills remain firmly in the playoff picture and can take confidence from their strong home form, having gone unbeaten in their last four matches on their own turf. Goodwin and King remain sidelined, but there are no fresh injury concerns for the hosts, who have averaged 2.00 goals per home game.
Port Vale, meanwhile, did well to record consecutive victories over Grimsby and Chesterfield which gave them a confidence boost. The Valiants will be eager to maintain that momentum, although their lack of cutting edge remains a concern, having scored just five goals in nine league matches this season. Midfielder Matthew Craig continues to miss out through injury for Jon Brady’s side, while their away record offers little encouragement after failing to win any of their last four trips.
Gillingham’s home advantage makes them worth backing against a Port Vale side that has struggled on the road. Therefore Home Win should be considered, alongside Gillingham to Win to Nil, and Under 3.5 goals.
This League 2 match will be played on Tuesday, 20 October 2026 at 20:00.
