Verdict
- Gareth Ainsworth's three-at-the-back system is based around the pace and attacking prowess of his wing-backs, immediate transitions and a combative midfield that will provide a platform for his strikeforce.
- A clash of styles could go either way, and while Gillingham have failed to win their last home fixture against Rovers, this fixture should be more of a tight, tactical chess match than a romp.
- Only 4 of Gillingham's 9 points have been picked up at home, so it's not all rosy for Steve Evans' men and that's why we're supporting the hosts.
