🧠 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Gillingham will need to put in a solid display to hit the back of the net against this Portsmouth lineup who will likely end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

We therefore fancy a very competitive game with a 0-1 winning margin for Portsmouth at the end of the 90.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
