Cheltenham vs Gillingham Predictions

• Gillingham have only lost two of their last six
• There have been over 2.5 goals in seven of Cheltenham’s last nine
• Alfie May has scored 34.4% of all Cheltenham goals this season

Gills need a result

Gillingham visit goal-crazy Cheltenham on Friday with hopes of pulling themselves out of the relegation zone.

Cheltenham have seen plenty of goals in recent games, with ten goals conceded in their last four games, and results such as a 4-4 draw with Accrington, a 4-1 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, and a 3-1 victory over AFC Wimbledon all coming in their last five.

These types of game, both in favour of and against them, have been a hallmark of Cheltenham’s season, with seventy-one goals conceded being comfortably the most in the top half of the table.

Gillingham’s safety push

The Gills currently sit in the final place of the relegation zone, although they are level on points with Morecambe and Fleetwood above them. Their recent form of only three losses in nine games has set them up for a nail-biting end to the season, and they’ll believe they can get points from each of their remaining fixtures. Coming up against a Cheltenham team without anything to play for could be the perfect opportunity to continue their good form.

Alfie May’s impact

Alfie May has four goals in his last six games, and with twenty-one goals in forty-one games this season, he has scored 34.4% of all Cheltenham’s goals this season. With Gillingham averaging 1.33 goals conceded away from home this season, Alfie May to score would be a safe prediction.
