Prediction: 1-0
Rochdale
There will be fireworks when Gillingham and Rochdale face each other at Priestfield Stadium on Matchday 25. The Gills quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Burton, with the team beating Accrington on the road in their last league match. Stuart O’Keefe, who has overcome his injury, is pushing for a start. It has to be noted, though, that Gillingham failed to find the net in the previous two home games in the League One.
The Dale, on the other hand, are on a five-match winless run in the English third tier. Jake Beesley has recover from his injury, but he is unlikely to start against Gillingham due to the lack of fitness. Anyhow, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts, who proved their worth in the 1-0 triumph over Accrington. In the first half of the season Gillingham rolled over Rochdale 4-1.
