Gillingham vs Walsall Predictions

Leaders can claim key victory

Walsall should be backed to get an away win at Gillingham on Saturday. There is a huge gulf between these two teams in the league table, with Walsall sitting first and Gillingham down in 19th.

Walsall are 18 places and 27 points above Gillingham in the table. The leaders have won 20 of their 37 games this season, while Gillingham have recorded just 11 wins so far, along with nine draws and 16 defeats.

Gillingham’s struggle to score goals at home is a major concern. They have found the net just 20 times in 18 games this season, an average of just over one goal a game.

Walsall have been solid at the back on their travels, conceding just 18 goals in 18 games this season – an average of one goal per game.

Gillingham’s recent form has been up and down, with two wins, two draws and two defeats in their last six games. They beat Bradford 1-0 at odds of 3/1, but also lost to Newport and Fleetwood.

Walsall can edge this, with a 1-0 correct score in favour of the visitors looking like a decent bet. Ten of Gillingham’s 16 League Two defeats have come by the odd goal and under 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in 24 of their 36 games this season.
