On 6 April, the Second League fixtures in England will be in full swing. "Gillingham" will clash with "Bradford City". The encounter will take place at the "Valley Parade" stadium. Let's try to analyse, what kind of bet could be made for this match.

"Bradford City"

After a brief appearance in League 1, the team is now into their 5th season in League 2. Last season they came close to making it back to the third division, finishing 6th, but they lost to "Carlisle" in the semi-finals with a scoreline of (2:3). Now they are not quite as stable, currently positioned 15th in the league table.

For the 37th round, they suffered a crushing defeat to "Mansfield" with a scoreline of (1:5). Then the boys lost on their home turf to "Notts County" (0:3). In the following match, "Bradford" suffered another loss to "Harrogate" with a scoreline of (0:3). However, they were able to break their losing streak, claiming a victory over "Tranmere" with a scoreline of (2:0). In the most recent round, they drew with "Grimsby" (1:1).

"Gillingham"

The team spent several years in League 1, but they have now been in League 2 for two seasons. Since then their chances to get back up have been slim, having finished 17th in the league last season. Now though, they might just pull it off, considering "Gills" are currently in the 9th place.

Following their defeat to "Wimbledon" with a scoreline of (0:2) they drew with "Grimsby" (1:1). Afterwards, the team managed to secure a victory over "Morecambe" with a scoreline of (3:2). In the next game, they were locked in a goalless draw with "Crewe" (0:0). However, in the last round, they suffered a heavy defeat to "Harrogate", with a final scoreline of (1:5).

Head to Head

The last head-to-head duel between "Gillingham" and "Bradford" took place on 16 December 2023, ending with a (2:0) victory for "Bradford".

Prediction

In this confrontation, I would propose a bet on the home team's victory. "Bradford" are gradually recovering from their recent dip, securing one win and drawing one match. "Gillingham", on the other hand, suffered a major defeat in their last round and they likely won't have bounced back in time for this match.

Over/Under Prediction

The teams often produce high-scoring matches. I believe they will manage to rack up a decent number of goals, thus, I would suggest betting on an over 2.5 total.
