In the upcoming League 2 match, Gillingham and Swindon Town will face each other at the Priestfield Stadium.
The side has seen several years in League 1, but after two seasons they were relegated to League 2. Since then, their chances of bouncing back have been slim, as they finished 17th in the table last season. However, things could be different this time around, with the Gills currently sitting 9th.
Following a victory over Accrington Stanley with a final score of 2:1, Gillingham tied with Forest Green 1:1. They then suffered a defeat from Milton Keynes Dons, losing 1:2. In their subsequent match, they drew with Walsall 1:1, and in their most recent game they managed to beat Notts County away with a final score of 3:1.
This is the side's third season in League 2. Last year they finished 10th, but now they're down to 17th, with 38 points earned so far. In their 27th match, they drew with Colchester 2:2. After that, they won against Bradford City 2:0, but in the next round they lost again to Newport County, with a scoreline of 1:2. In their most recent match, they tied with Salford City 1:1.
The last match-up between Swindon Town and Gillingham took place on 24th October 2023 and ended with a 1:0 victory for the Gills.
In this showdown, the home side is the favourite. Gillingham may not be strong at home, but they're up against Swindon Town, who have lost their last 5 away matches. With that in mind, I'm backing a Gillingham win.
Both teams have been showing quite impressive scoring in recent rounds, so I would recommend betting on a total over 2.5.
