Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

A real chess match could be in store as Chesterfield and Gillingham go head-to-head, with almost nothing between the players in defence, making it difficult to predict who will win. The stats do not provide any clear conclusion in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the fixture. That prediction is available at best priced odds of 1.80 with the bookmakers, so we've made under 2.5 goals our tip of the day on this occasion.
