Gillingham vs Cheltenham Prediction & Betting Tips

Gillingham vs Cheltenham Preview

Following their unbeaten start to the season, Gillingham is going through a rough patch as they recorded their successive defeats in the league for the first time since February. Gillingham started their recent match against MK Dons poorly, conceding three goals in quick succession. The hosts would mount pressure on the opposition, but it was too late as they could only score two goals, thus losing the game 3-2.

Returning to winning ways is Gillingham’s priority this weekend as they look to return to the top 3, following their drop last weekend. They will definitely be backed by the home crowd whom they have impressed with good performances. The hosts won four, and lost one of their five home games so far.

Cheltenham returned to winning ways last weekend, bringing an end to their three-game losing streak in the league. As expected, Cheltenham was outplayed on all fronts by Fleetwood, but goalkeeper Joe Day ensured that he kept his side in the game with his crucial saves. However, two goals in three minutes from Isaac Hutchinson and Josh Martin ensured that Cheltenham bag all three points in the game.

Steve Cotterill will look to lead his team to successive league wins for the first time since April when they return to action this weekend. Cheltenham are not the best team on the road this season, as their record includes four defeats and one draw in five league matches. Ending this run will not only lift them on the table, it will also turn the atmosphere around the club into a positive one.

Gillingham vs Cheltenham Prediction

We back Gillingham to win because of their impressive home record that includes four wins, and a draw while Cheltenham are yet to record an away victory in the league this season (1D, 4L).

Both teams are also expected to get on the scoresheet because Gillingham is without a clean sheet in three league matches and Cheltenham only kept a clean sheet in one of their last four league matches. Both teams’ also scored in five of their last seven head-to-head meetings.

Lastly, a high-scoring result is expected because Cheltenham’s last five matches averaged 3.2 goals per game and Gillingham’s last five matches averaged 3 goals per game. This predicts a scoreline with over 2.5 goals.
