ℹ️ Team News: Gillingham

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Gillingham boss Steve Lovell to be concerned about from an otherwise complete squad. Daniel Adshead (Metatarsal Fracture) misses out.

We are thinking that The Gills look set to go for a 4-4-2 formation in the match featuring Tim Krul, Max Aarons, Grant Hanley, Ben Gibson, Brandon Williams, Przemyslaw Placheta, Pierre Lees-Melou, Kenny McLean, Milot Rashica, Teemu Pukki and Adam Idah.

📋 Team News: Burton Albion

Owing to a completely injury-free squad available for selection, the Burton Albion boss Jimmy Hasselbaink does not have any fitness concerns to speak of before this clash.

We are inclined to think that The Brewers seem most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 system, starting Jordan Pickford, Seamus Coleman, Ben Godfrey, Michael Keane, Vitalii Mykolenko, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Allan, Andre Gomes, Anthony Gordon, D. Calvert-Lewin and Demarai Gray.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the view that Burton Albion and Gillingham are probably both going to find scoring goals difficult here.

Let’s see what happens, but it could well be that we end up with scores level and two clean sheets. We’re therefore seeing a very even match with a 0-0 draw after 90 minutes.
