Gillingham vs Newport County Predictions

Gillingham should be backed to beat Newport at home in League Two on Saturday. The visitors are yet to get off the mark away from home this season, with three defeats and a draw on the road.

They are ninth in League Two, three places and three points ahead of Newport. The hosts have won three, drawn three and lost two of their eight games this season, while Newport have won two, drawn three and lost three.

Gillingham’s recent results are encouraging – they have won their last two League Two home games.

They have been racking up the goals in recent games, scoring at least twice in three of their last four League Two matches. They have averaged 1.67 goals a game in their three games against bottom-half teams this season.

The visitors’ recent away form does not inspire confidence. Newport have failed to win any of their last six League Two games, a run that includes six defeats on their last eight away days.

The visitors have struggled to keep things tight at the back this season, with Newport failing to keep a clean sheet in 17 of their last 20 League Two games. They have conceded eight goals from four away games so far.

There have been under 2.5 goals in three of Newport’s last four League Two games, and a 1-0 home success for Gillingham appeals as the correct score.
