Data provided by

Gillingham look to make home advantage count when they host League Two‘s lowest scorers Port Vale at the MEMS Priestfield Stadium on Tuesday night, with kick-off at 8pm.

Our Gillingham vs Port Vale predictions weigh up a home side sitting pretty in the League Two play-off places against a Port Vale team that cannot find the net on the road. Gillingham have the firepower to trouble anyone at Priestfield, while the visitors arrive as the division’s shyest attack, setting up an intriguing clash of styles.

Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson has landed on two bets at Priestfield, fancying Gillingham to win the corner count and to see off Port Vale without conceding.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Port Vale to have most corners11/8 (bet365)Gillingham have won fewer corners than any other side in League Two this season, just 35 in 11 games, while conceding 62. Port Vale have won 41 in nine, which is more than four a game. Vale have struggled for goals on the road, but they will have to come forward at some point if they are to end their away losing run, and Gillingham’s numbers suggest the corner count could go against them even at home. At 11/8 with bet365, the visitors to win the corner count is worth backing.
Gillingham to win to nil9/2 (bet365)Port Vale are the lowest scorers in League Two with just five goals in nine games, and away from home that problem becomes acute: one goal in four trips, all of which they have lost. Gillingham, meanwhile, have kept four clean sheets and thrashed Bristol Rovers 3-0 at Priestfield earlier in the campaign, so the platform for a shut-out is there. With the visitors offering so little in the final third on the road, backing the Gills to win without conceding at 9/2 stands out as the bet with the most upside here.

How Gillingham go into the game

Gillingham sit sixth in League Two on 16 points from 11 games, though they were beaten 3-1 away at Accrington Stanley last time out.

At Priestfield they have been steady rather than spectacular, winning two and drawing two of five (W2 D2 L1), with a 3-0 demolition of Bristol Rovers their standout result.

How Port Vale go into the game

Port Vale have made a modest start, sitting 21st on 11 points from nine games after a 1-0 home win over Chesterfield last time out.

The contrast between home and away could hardly be starker, as they are unbeaten at home but have lost all four away games, scoring just once.
