- Two of Notts County’s last three meetings against Gillingham have ended in 3-1 results, of which both teams took one win apiece.

Prediction
Although they’re unbeaten in their last four matches, Notts County were defensively sloppy in the opening minutes at Hayes Lane but were lucky that their attacking quality stepped up and delivered a clinical comeback.
Gillingham meanwhile were simply clinical in their win over Tranmere but with just one goal in three away games, they must really try and score first if want to get a result here.
Notts County though do look like they’ve found their groove and unless their defence is sloppy, I can’t see them losing this early test of their promotion credentials.
Prediction: Notts County 2-1 Gillingham
Result: Notts County 0-1 Gillingham
