Stockport County
Tuesday’s postponed fixture at Priestfield Stadium pits together Gillingham and Stockport County, the two teams who were beaten by Newport County and Tranmere Rovers respectively at the weekend. The Gills aim to climb to the playoffs places, but they will have a big fish to fry against the league leaders. Shad Ogie has overcome his injury, but Dom Jefferies remains in the recovery room.
The Hatters, on the other hand, aim to move one step closer to securing the League One promotion. Stockport County are eyeing their ninth away win of the season and given Gillingham’s anything but good performance in the defeat to Newport, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier Gillingham defeated Stockport, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge. Both Collar and Touray are pushing for a recall to Stockport’s starting XI.
