Gillingham v Newport County prediction

Newport County crestNewport CountyLDDWW

What to expect

We expect about 1.6 goals from Gillingham and 1.1 from Newport County, so Gillingham come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.8 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Gillingham come into this on two straight defeats. Newport County come into this on two straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Gillingham or Draw. This covers Gillingham or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 76 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.29, which works out at about 78 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

Chesterfield are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.9-0.9), and we make them about 61% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
