Gillingham host Barrow at Priestfield Stadium in a standout top of League 2 encounter.
Currently locked on 16 points apiece and goal difference of +8 with Barrow sat top on goals scored, victory would see Gillingham go top or Barrow will remain at the summit with a win.

Stat Attack
- Gillingham have won just one of their last eight meetings against Barrow (W1, D3, L4).
- Barrow have won one of their last seven visits to Gillingham (W1, D2, L4).
- Two of Gillingham’s last three home matches against Barrow ended in a 1-1 draw.
- Gillingham have kept clean sheets in five of their last six league matches.
- Theo Vassell has scored in each of Gillingham’s last two matches (W2).
Prediction
Unbeaten at home and with clean sheets in five of their last six league matches, Gillingham certainly have belief coming into this top-of-table clash after taking a clinical win at Notts County.
Barrow however are in similar form and now under ex Gills boss – Stephen Clemence who knows how many of his old team play, which could be a tactical advantage to a small extent but they need to just reset after their midweek humiliation.
Gillingham though are a difficult team to break down so I do see a tough fight here and a draw between these two teams.
Prediction: Gillingham 1-1 Barrow
Result: Gillingham 2-0 Barrow
