Third Prediction: Both teams to score – 1/1

First Prediction for Gillingham vs Crewe Alexandra – Match to end in a draw – 7/4

These sides have been in poor form recently. The hosts are winless in 11 games in all competitions, while the visitors are winless in five and have subsequently dropped out of both the automatic promotion places and the play-off places. Crewe have drawn as many games as they have won in League Two this season, drawing 12 and winning 12. Seven of these draws have come away from home. Gillingham, on the other hand, have drawn six games this season, three of which have come in their last five games under new manager John Coleman. With both sides so off-form, it would not be surprising to see the game end level at full-time.

Second Prediction for Gillingham vs Crewe Alexandra – Under 2.5 goals to be scored – 9/25

A reason why these sides have been so poor in the last weeks is because of their poor goalscoring records. Whilst the Railwaymen have been hit by injuries in their attacking ranks, losing the likes of top-scorer Jack Lankester, Gillingham have struggled for most of the season despite bringing in attacking reinforcements in the summer. On average, Coleman’s side score less than one goal per match, averaging 0.90 goals per 90, whilst Lee Bell’s side score 1.16 per 90. Whilst both side’s goalscoring records are relatively poor, their defensive records are relatively good, with both teams averaging less than 1.50 goals conceded per match. The hosts’ record is slightly worse than their opponents, with an average of 1.14 goals conceded per match, whilst Crewe’s average sits at one goal per match. The Kent-based team has witnessed more than three goals in a match on three occasions this season, while the away team has done so in four games. The attacking and defensive records these sides possess suggest that this match will not be a high-scoring encounter.

Third Prediction for Gillingham vs Crewe Alexandra – Both teams to score – 1/1

Despite the previous stats suggesting otherwise, both teams have rarely failed to find the target in games, even if they have only managed to score one or two goals. Crewe have only failed to find the back of the net six times this season, with half of those occasions coming in the last five games. The hosts have a slightly worse record in terms of goals, failing to find the target in nine third-tier games. Since new manager Coleman has taken the hot seat at Priestfield Stadium, Gills have only failed to score twice in six games and found the target in last weekend’s clash with league-leaders Walsall. Both teams do consistently hit the target in their games despite having average records in front of goal.

Full Preview of the Game – Last Results and Head-To-Head

As mentioned above, neither side come into this one in good form, with both sides winless in the last five matches. However, in this run, both sides have picked up respectable points against opponents tough to beat.

With the top of the League Two table being so tight, the visitors could climb back into the playoffs if other results around the ground are to go their way. For the hosts, although they are 10 points clear of the relegation zone, they are in the mix at the foot of the table, and three points would push them further to safety.

Since 2010, these sides have met 19 times in both League One and League Two. Gillingham have taken the majority of the results, winning against Crewe nine times out of the 19 games. Crewe have taken seven wins, with the other three matches ending in draws.
