Gillingham
- It’s a battle of contrasting styles when these two sides meet on Saturday as Gillingham’s adaptable, front-foot pressing style comes up against Matt Lawlor’s Fleetwood Town, who have recently moved to a higher-energy system of pressing.
- Gareth Ainsworth’s team always have a go and look to press high up the field as soon as they lose possession.
- Gillingham have won two and lost three of their last five League Two matches.
-
Recent results:
- falling to 1-0 and 0-3 defeats away to Chesterfield and at home to Oldham Athletic respectively
- before a 1-0 victory at Barrow
Fleetwood Town
- Fleetwood Town sit one point above Gillingham in 15th spot in League Two 2025-2026 (45 points from 33 games).

-
Recent results:
- a 1-0 away win over Crewe Alexandra
- a 3-2 home victory against Barrow
- a 0-0 home draw with Newport County
- Lawlor’s side have moved away from the compact, low-block system towards a more energetic pressing game.
- Lawlor has opted to use his wide players in a higher position and has been employing wing-backs who overlap effectively.
- It’s a game that suits Mark Helm, who has scored three of Fleetwood’s last five goals.
