Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting it's fairly unlikely that this fixture will serve up 4 goals or more, and the odds and stats align with KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Cheltenham and Gillingham have rarely served up goal-fests of late, whether that be in League Two individually or when going head-to-head. So, without a compelling favourite win or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.30.
