Gillingham vs Southend Predictions

With around a quarter of the season already gone, it seems like a good opportunity for sides to judge their progress and see if they are on target to achieve the targets they set for themselves at the start of the campaign. This weekend sees two sides who will be concerned about their progress as Gillingham welcome Southend United to Priestfield Stadium.

Gillingham have had plenty of troubles in the early stages of the season and they go into this weekends fixture having claimed just 10 points from their opening 10 matches. Due to the financial troubles of Bolton and Bury, this seasons relegation picture in League One looks a bit different to usual, however the hosts look like they could be in for a battle to retain their spot in England’s third tier. It’s not as if things have been particularly positive of late either as they go into this weekends contest having lost their last two matches, albeit against the league leaders and a rapidly improving Oxford side.

Making the trip to Priestfield is a Southend United side who have plenty of reasons to be concerned of their own as they go into this match with just four points to their name. It is clear to see where the main concerns are for the visitors as they have conceded frequently and the 25 goals they have let in this season matches the tally set by a Bolton team who have had to play their youth team for the majority of their matches this term for the worst record in the division.

Although the hosts come into this match on the back of two defeats, both matches were against strong opposition and prior to those matches there were signs of some decent form. When you factor in that the visitors are in no sort of form at all and concede on such a regular basis, we think that backing a home win is the only thing that makes sense. When it comes to a correct score, we think that there will be goals in this one so our money is on a 3-1 Gillingham victory.
