Gillingham v Bromley: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Bromley are making serene progress under Andy Woodman, but Gillingham boast one of the meanest defences in League Two and it won't be easy to extend their unbeaten run at the Priestfield Stadium.

The Ravens were promoted from the National League last season and, after a difficult start, they have found their feet and are adjusting well to the new surroundings, with an 11-game unbeaten sequence steering them much clear of relegation danger.

But they are only one point above the Gills, who have picked up 19 of their 30-point haul on home turf.

Gillingham will, however, be bidding to bounce back from a three-game winless run after they limped to a 1-0 loss at AFC Wimbledon on Monday evening, which was the second match in a row in which they have failed to score.

These two sides met at Hayes Lane at the beginning of December, with Bromley utilising home advantage in a 2-1 victory, but Gillingham will fancy their chances of being more competitive in more familiar surroundings.

Gillingham v Bromley betting tips and predictions

Draw - 12/5

Bromley are on a real roll under Woodman, having lost only one of their last 15 league games since the end of September, and they head to Priestfield oozing confidence.

However, they were frustrated in a 1-1 draw at home to fourth-bottom Swindon Town last time out and in Gillingham they meet a side that are notoriously strong defensively.

Despite being unbeaten in 11, Bromley have drawn six of those games and that means that they have shared the spoils in 10 of their 22 outings, with only Colchester United having endured more stalemates this season.

They needed a 73rd-minute winner from Jude Arthurs to get the better of Gillingham at home last month and this should be closely fought again, with a point apiece looking highly likely.

Gills need a positive response to Monday’s 1-0 loss at Wimbledon and six of their nine league wins this term have come at home, which offers some hope.

However, the hosts’ lack of scoring threat tempers enthusiasm, as they have netted only 22 goals in as many games, with only five teams in the fourth tier less potent in attack.

Gillingham drew 2-2 in their last home game against Cheltenham Town and they may have to settle for another point in this showdown with a red-hot Bromley.

Under 2.5 goals - 13/20

Goals look set to be in short supply in this League Two encounter, with fatigue over a busy Christmas period another potential factor to consider.

Fifteen of Gillingham's 22 league games this season have gone under 2.5 goals and both teams have scored in only three of their last 10 home league matches, suggesting that defences may come to the fore.

Bromley are more explosive than the hosts in the final third, but seven of their last 11 League Two fixtures have featured two goals or fewer and this trip to the Priestfield Stadium may follow suit.

Correct score 1-1 - 11/2

With seemingly little to separate these teams and a low-scoring encounter expected, it could be worth backing a 1-1 draw at 11/2.

Bromley have drawn 10 of their 22 league games this season and six of those clashes ended 1-1, which would look to be another big runner in Kent.
