Premium Tips
Andy is with Fleetwood, who look the stronger side on early evidence.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Fleetwood Town to win and both teams to score – No | 9/4 | Fleetwood begin the season full of confidence after a disciplined 1-0 win at Chesterfield, while Gillingham arrive shellshocked after being hammered 3-0 at home by Walsall on the opening day. Matt Lawlor’s side kept a clean sheet on the road and conceded only 58 goals in League Two last season, so a similarly well-organised display at Highbury looks likely. The Gills managed just 53 goals of their own last term and shipped 72, so their firepower is unlikely to trouble a settled Fleetwood back-line even if they nick a consolation. Backing the hosts to win to nil, or at least keep Gillingham off the scoresheet, looks the shrewd angle here. |
| Ched Evans to score anytime and Ronan Hale over 0.5 shots on target | 17/5 | Evans was named Fleetwood captain for 2026/27 after extending his stay, and at 37 he remains the focal point of the attack, having scored 43 goals across two spells at the club. Playing in front of the Highbury crowd against a Gillingham side low on confidence after their opening-day mauling, he’ll fancy adding to that tally. Hale, meanwhile, arrived at Gillingham last season from Ross County on the back of 18 goals in 42 games and has the quality to get involved even in a poor team performance. Backing him for a shot on target rather than a goal is the safer read of a player still settling in against a well-drilled Fleetwood defence. |

How Fleetwood Town go into the game
Fleetwood made a solid start, winning 1-0 at Chesterfield thanks to a disciplined defensive display. Highbury will be a lively place for the first home game of the season.
Well-organised and hard to beat, Fleetwood will fancy their chances against a Gillingham side low on confidence. Another clean sheet would please the home faithful.
How Gillingham go into the game
Gillingham endured a nightmare opening day, hammered 3-0 at home by Walsall. That result piled early pressure on and a reaction is badly needed on the road.
The Gills have the players to cause problems but looked well short last week. They will need to be far more resilient at Fleetwood to avoid a second straight defeat.
