Meetings between these two teams usually finish with a narrow margin, and the hosts rarely come off worse against this opponent. This time the picture is different, because Gillingham are in a spell where their attack has clicked again. Accrington Stanley have not lost in the league for several matches, but they have not won either. The scores have been low and often end in a share of the points. The hosts' attack is still not sharp enough to close out games on its own. As for Gillingham, although they have been beaten heavily in some matches, they hit back by scoring 4 goals against their opponents in the latest game, and their season record is clearly superior to the hosts'. This game is likely to open cautiously. The hosts will try to set up their shape and wait for chances from set pieces, while Gillingham should control the tempo in midfield more and gradually push forward for a goal in the second half. If the visitors score first, the game will flow even more their way.
