Before Kickoff
Match Prediction
No clear statistical edge
The matchup is mixed. York edge attack, Gillingham edge recent form and head-to-head, defence is closely matched, so the data does not point to one clear overall winner.

Match Analysis
Gillingham have managed just a solitary victory in their last five away fixtures, while York arrive at this League Two clash having secured four wins from their most recent five home outings.

This is the first time these two sides have met in the league since 2013. Over the 6-day comparison window, York's implied win probability has fallen by 1.6 percentage points, while Gillingham's implied win probability has risen by 0.4 percentage points.
