Gillingham vs Salford City Predictions

Salford to fall short at Gillingham

Take Gillingham to get the better of Salford at Priestfield in what is likely to be a grind of a 90 minutes.

Gillingham are fifth in League Two, two places above Salford, but the sides are level on points. Both teams have won more games than they’ve lost this season, with Gillingham on six wins and three defeats and Salford having seven victories and five losses from their 13 games.

Gillingham have been prolific going forward. They have scored an average of 1.50 goals a game in their six League Two games against other top-half teams this season, and are averaging 1.75 goals a game in their four home games against these sides.

Salford’s recent away form has been disappointing, with three defeats in their last four League Two games on the road. They have lost their last two away matches.

Gillingham have been impressive defensively at home this season, conceding just three goals in six League Two games – an average of 0.50 goals per game. In contrast, Salford have failed to keep a clean sheet in 18 of their last 20 league games and have conceded on each of their last four road trips.

A 1-0 win for Gillingham looks a decent correct-score option. Three of the last five League Two meetings between Salford and Gillingham have gone under 2.5 goals, and four of Gillingham’s six victories this season have been by one goal.
