Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson fancies Gillingham to bounce back at home.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Gillingham to win11/10 (Paddy Power)Gillingham were beaten 3-0 at York last time out but had won three of their previous four, including a 3-0 defeat of Bristol Rovers and a 4-1 win at Rochdale, and they remain eighth in the table. Newport are inconsistent and have lost three of their last five, offering Gillingham a chance to bounce back at Priestfield. With the hosts carrying the greater threat in front of their own fans, they look the right side to back to return to winning ways.
Gillingham to win and both teams to score7/2 (Paddy Power)Newport have scored in most of their games, with 12 goals to their name, so they should carry a threat even on the road. Gillingham, though, have the firepower that brought big home wins over Bristol Rovers and Tranmere, and should have too much at Priestfield. A home win with both sides scoring fits the profile of two attacking teams, and 7/2 is an appealing price given Gillingham’s home strength and Newport’s willingness to have a go.
