Gillingham vs Salford tips and predictions

Unlikely to be straightforward for Salford

There's not much up for grabs in the 1X2 odds and the short price for Salford renders them unbackable. Gillingham don't look likely to get the win but they might keep the visitors on their toes. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. In their last 4 matches Gillingham have only conceded 0.8 goals and Salford have been impressive defensively on the road. They've let in an average of 0.5 goals per game over their last 4 matches away from home.

Many readers will be expecting one of these sides to stifle things because of the favouritism for Salford. The No BTTS bet would be sensible. And if you're interested in the goal line, it's no more than two goals in this match considering the odds that are available.

Gillingham have drawn 9 of their last 17 matches on their own soil, most recently when they drew 1-1 with Dag & Red last Saturday. Salford have drawn 6 of their last 18 matches. It isn't a very exciting prediction and it feels like a match to be nervous about and so the draw is certainly food for thought. A stalemate is on the cards after what looks likely to be a close encounter.
