Prediction: 2-1
Swindon
Gillingham play host to Swindon Town at their Priestfield Stadium in the League Two round 33. The Gills aim to build on a 3-1 win over Notts County and they must be high on confidence ahead of Tuesday’s encounter. Stephen Clemence’s troops have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in the midweek game. Barring any fresh injury worries, Stephen Clemence is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated David McGoldrick and Co. at the weekend.
The Robins, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Bradford City, losing to Newport County, while sharing the spoils with Salford. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Gillingham produced a brilliant performance in the triumph over Notts County. Experienced forward Charlie Austin is widely expected to return to Swindon’s starting XI.
