Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there's no obvious winner here, but good reason to think Bristol R and Gillingham will find the net twice at least between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Darrell Clarke or Gareth Ainsworth has served up too many 0-0s lately either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.29 equating to roughly a 73% probability.
