High flying Gillingham host Harrogate Town in a key League Two fixture this Saturday. The Gills started the campaign with four wins from four, but two defeats have seen them displaced at the top of the table. Meanwhile, Harrogate have struggled for consistency and sit just three points above the relegation zone.

Gillingham were absolutely flying at the start of the season, four consecutive 1-0 wins put them top of the table. Unfortunately, two defeats have put the brakes on their promotion charge and they will be looking to get back to winning ways this weekend.
After spending big during the Summer, expectations are high at Priestfield. Manager Neil Harris has put together a quality team and annoying less than a top seven finish will be seen as a big failure this season.
Last week’s dismal 0-8 reverse to Blackburn was Harrogate’s biggest defeat since entering the football league. Just as worryingly, they have lost four of their last five League Two games and have struggled to find the back of the net.
After last season’s 19th place finish, Harrogate will be keen to avoid another season of struggle. Victory at Gillingham will help them get their campaign back on track.
Gillingham have only faced Harrogate Town twice before and are yet to record a victory. Last season’s two encounters saw the sides draw at Harrogate, whilst the Sulphurites emerged victorious at Priestfield.
Our statistical highlights for this game assess the recent form of the two sides and are a key tool in helping you study the football betting odds for the fixture.
Gillingham are odds-on favourites with most betting apps and are best priced at 17/20. The visitors can be backed at around 4/1, with the draw available at 5/2.
Neither of these sides are in great form, but we think home advantage can be key for the Gills. Since the start of 2023, no side has picked up more points in League Two, so we are willing to put their recent defeats down to a blip.
In contrast, Harrogate look set for another season towards the bottom of the League Two table. They can be hard to break down, but we think Gillingham have the quality to justify their odds and a home win is our prediction for the game.
