Premium Tips
Andy is with Gillingham, whose home advantage should tell.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Gillingham or draw (Double Chance) and over 2.5 goals | 9/4 | This fixture regularly produces goals, with five of the last six meetings going beyond 2.5, and both sides come in with defensive question marks. Gillingham conceded 72 goals last season, while Northampton, dropping down after a leaky campaign of their own, shipped 74. That combination points to another open, high-scoring game at Priestfield. The double chance offers protection on the result: Gillingham have home advantage, and Northampton arrive with recent pedigree from a higher level, so backing the hosts or the draw covers the two most likely outcomes in what should be an end-to-end contest. |
| Connor Lemonheigh-Evans, Elliott List and Sam Hoskins over 0.5 shots on target each | 10/3 | Lemonheigh-Evans anchors this treble. He has started both games and hit the target in each, so clearing half a shot on target sits comfortably within his output as a regular in the side. Hoskins brings proven quality, with six goals last season and a steady stream of efforts, while List is another attacking option with a healthy shot count from wide areas. Both offer real goal threat when involved, and against a Gillingham defence that leaked heavily last season, all three should find openings to work the goalkeeper provided they get the minutes. |
