Gillingham vs MK Dons Predictions

• Gillingham sit comfortably in midtable in League One, winning six of their 20 games this season and losing seven.
• MK Dons are struggling near the foot of the table, losing 13 of their 20 games and winning just once in their last five games.
• Gillingham have won two of their last four games but none of those games have beaten the 2.5 goal line.
• MK Dons have only won once in their last thirteen games, with just four of those matches beating the 2.5 goal line.

Gillingham have been the definition of average

Gillingham have been remarkably middle of the road so far this season, winning six and drawing and losing seven games. They’ve also scored 23 and conceded 22 goals and sit in 13th position, at the top of the bottom half of the table.

Games featuring Gillingham have averaged 2.3 goals so far this season and only one of their last five games have beaten the 2.5 goal line. Only one player in their squad has scored more than two goals this season and goals have been hard to come by for the side this season.

MK Dons sit in relegation zone, can they climb out?

MK Dons haven’t enjoyed a good season, winning just five of their 20 matches and struggling to pick up the points they need to escape the relegation zone. They’ve scored just 17 goals so far this term, only scoring twice or more once in their last thirteen games.

Five players within the squad have scored two goals this term but no one is stepping up and finding the net on a regular enough basis to find them the wins they need. Games featuring MK Dons average just 2.4 goals and they have failed to beat the 2.5 goal line in 50% of their matches this season.

Can either side find the goals needed?

Neither side really looks like running away with the win in this game, and goals could be hard to come by between two of the lowest scoring sides in the league. For that reason we’re confident in backing this game to fall short of the 2.5 goal line and feature two or less goals.

There isn’t a huge amount to pick from between the two sides but home advantage and the form of Alex Jakubiak, who has five goals this term, could be the difference this weekend. We’re backing the home side to win by the most slender of margins in a 1-0 win.
