Gillingham head into the final round in poor form, losing three on the bounce and conceding a worrying 2.50 goals per game over their last 10 matches. As both Gillingham and Shrewsbury will be with guards down in Saturday's encounter, we predict a 2-2 draw. The 6-2 defeat to Barnet exposed Gillingham's major defensive issues, and despite averaging 3.40 total goals per game, much of that comes from conceding. At home, the Gills have managed just a 25% win rate, while their xGA of 1.48 suggests they regularly allow quality chances. Josh Andrews, Travis Akomeah, and Jonathan Williams are all pushing for starts, which could bring some attacking energy.
Shrewsbury are only slightly better off, but their form (1.10 PPG) shows more resilience. The Shrews concede 1.40 goals per game and score just 0.80, highlighting a lack of cutting edge. Away from home they’ve struggled (0.80 PPG), but Josh Ruffels’ recent impact off the bench offers a boost. Historically, this fixture produces tight contests, with 59% draws in H2H meetings.
Considering shaky defenses on both sides, we believe that there is big value in betting on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Draw.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 2 May 2026 at 15:00.
