Gillingham
- Gillingham have won six, drawn six, and lost only three of their 15 home League Two matches so far this season (W6, D6, L3).
- Gillingham have won one and lost one of their last two at Priestfield, so they are not totally reliable on their own patch, but they have won one of their last five, drawn one and lost three.
- Gillingham have conceded 19 goals in 15 home games this league season, which is an average of 1.27 per game.
Oldham Athletic
- Oldham Athletic have won just four of their 14 away games in League Two this term (D5, L5), scoring 13 goals in total.
- The recent form tells a story too with Oldham winless in their last five (D3, L2) and winless in their last two away (D1, L1).
Head-to-Head
Gillingham did edge out Oldham Athletic 1-0 at Boundary Park in their most recent head-to-head matchup in the league five months ago, so should have a mental edge to take into this clash, but their away record isn’t great.
Key Players
- Bradley Dack has seven goals in 28 League Two appearances this term and can hurt any defence with his range and pace.
- Michael Mellon has bagged seven goals in just 16 League Two games this season.
Betting Insights
But the bookmakers are too close in the odds with Gillingham at 2.22 , Oldham at 3.3 and the draw at 3.15 because this has all the makings of a cagey contest.
Prediction
Under 2.5 goals is 1.67 here, which is fair enough, but we will take Gillingham to just edge it in a match that will be closer than the odds suggest.
