Two of League Two’s top seven meet at the LNER Community Stadium at 3pm on Saturday, and our York City vs Gillingham predictions back the hosts to keep their perfect home record going in an open game.
Anthony Eadson has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record for this League Two clash below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects York to edge a high-scoring afternoon at the LNER.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| York City to win and both teams to score | 2/1 (bet365) | York have won all three home league games, beating Bristol Rovers 3-2, Exeter 2-1 and Swindon 4-0, and have scored nine goals at the LNER. Both teams have scored in five of their seven league games, and the market makes over 2.5 goals a 4/7 shot. Gillingham have scored in both of their last two away games, so 2/1 about a York win with goals at both ends, an implied probability of 33%, is the way in. |
| Alex Newby to score anytime | 5/4 (Sky Bet) | Alex Newby is York’s top scorer with six League Two goals and has found the net in five of their seven games, including two in the 4-0 win over Swindon. He has scored in all three home games too. Gillingham have kept clean sheets in their last two, so this is a test, but Sky Bet’s 5/4, an implied probability of 44%, is a fair price for a player who scores this regularly. |

How York City go into the game
York have made a bright start since promotion and sit seventh on 11 points, with all three of their home games ending in victory.
The LNER has seen wins over Bristol Rovers (3-2), Exeter (2-1) and Swindon (4-0), with Alex Newby scoring in all three.
The road has been tougher. York are without a win in four away league games, drawing at Rotherham and Crewe and losing 3-2 at Cheltenham and 2-0 at Chesterfield last weekend. They also lost 2-0 at home to Crawley in the League Cup first round.
How Gillingham go into the game
Gillingham have climbed to fourth on the back of three straight wins, beating Rochdale 4-1 away and then Tranmere 2-0 and Bristol Rovers 3-0 at home.
They have not lost in six league games since a 3-0 home defeat by Walsall on the opening day, and they have kept clean sheets in their last two.
Away from home they are unbeaten in three, drawing 0-0 at Fleetwood and 1-1 at Chesterfield before that win at Rochdale.
