Cambridge United vs Gillingham Predictions

Cambridge United should be backed to beat Gillingham at home in League Two on Saturday. The visitors have lost five times in their last seven away games and could be heading for another defeat here.

Cambridge United are third in the league, 13 places and 20 points above Gillingham. The hosts have won 18, drawn 11 and lost six of their 35 games this season, while the visitors have 11 wins, 12 draws and 12 defeats.

No other team has conceded fewer League Two goals this season than Cambridge United’s 28 in 35 games, and they have been impressive defensively at home, conceding just 12 goals in 17 League Two matches – an average of 0.71 goals per game.

Cambridge United are in good form, having gone six games without defeat in League Two, and they have only lost one of their last ten matches. They have gone 13 home games since their last defeat at home in the league.

The hosts will fancy their chances of getting on the scoresheet, having found the net in their last 19 league games, scoring at least twice in ten of those. They recorded a 4-2 victory over Tranmere in January.

Gillingham need to turn things around, having won just one of their last six League Two matches.

The visitors are struggling to find the net, with Gillingham being kept at bay in four of their last six League Two away games. They have been beaten and failed to score in four of those matches.

A 2-0 home win for Cambridge United looks the best correct-score bet. Four of Gillingham’s last six League Two games have had fewer than three goals and eight of Cambridge’s 18 wins this season have been by a two-goal margin.
