Gillingham

LWDLLL 📉

Gillingham will be hoping for a better result after the 0-2 League Two defeat last time out to Swindon Town.

Aaron Drinan (68') and Fletcher Holman (86') scored for Swindon Town.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games that Gillingham have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Gillingham have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 15 goals on the way. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be continued here, however.

Their past results show that Gillingham:

• have not been beaten in the league by Bristol Rovers in their last 4 games.
• are without a win at home for the past 4 matches in the league. Things will have to change soon.

Bristol Rovers

WDWWLW

Bristol Rovers will come into the match following a 1-0 League Two win with the defeat of Shrewsbury Town in their last game.

The only name on the scoresheet from Bristol Rovers was Tommy Leigh (79').

The stats tell the story, and Bristol Rovers have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 6 goals overall. At the back, Bristol Rovers certainly have room for improvement.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Looking over their prior head to head clashes going back to 27/11/2018 shows that Gillingham have won 4 of these games and Bristol Rovers 1, with the tally of drawn results standing at 1.

An aggregate of 11 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 8 for The Gills and 3 created by The Pirates. That’s an average goals per game of 1.83.

The last league encounter featuring the two was League Two match day 15 on 08/11/2025 which ended up with the score at Bristol Rovers 0-1 Gillingham.

The referee was Alan Young.

📰 Team News: Gillingham

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just one fitness concern for the Gillingham manager Gareth Ainsworth to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Jonny Smith (Leg injury) won’t play.

💡 Prediction

We’re thinking that Bristol Rovers may find it difficult to register a score against this Gillingham outfit who we think will end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

We therefore fancy a highly competitive game with a 1-0 win for Gillingham when all is said and done.

Should be interesting.
