Grimsby vs Gillingham Prediction & Betting Tips

Grimsby vs Gillingham

Grimsby enter this game on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Colchester in their recent fixture. The hosts enjoyed the larger share of possession but failed to threaten the opposition effectively, forcing the goalkeeper to make just one save from their seven total attempts throughout the encounter. Their lack of creativity in the final third remains a growing concern for the team and supporters alike.

On home soil, Grimsby’s performance has been unimpressive lately, with one win, one draw, and three defeats in their last five matches. Grimsby are eager to rediscover their previous home form that included six successive wins, as the league table continues to take shape and competition among teams grows fiercer each week.

Meanwhile, Gillingham are without a win in four matches following their 1-1 draw with Cheltenham last weekend. The visitors’ performance in that game was underwhelming as they were outplayed on all fronts. Fortunately, they took the lead via Sam Sherring in the 87th minute, only to concede an equalizer in the closing moments of the game.

On the road, Gillingham’s five-game unbeaten run (2W, 3D) was recently halted by a 3-2 defeat to MK Dons. They will look to bounce back from that setback as they aim to retain their place in the top three for at least another week.

Grimsby vs Gillingham Prediction

We back Grimsby to win because they are unbeaten in their last four meetings against Gillingham, winning two and drawing two. In addition, the visitors have lost three of their last four matches, while Grimsby recorded two wins during the same period.

Over 2.5 goals is highly probable because Gillingham’s last five matches have averaged three goals per game, while Grimsby’s last five have averaged 3.8 goals per game, showing both teams’ attacking intent and defensive lapses in recent weeks.
