Gillingham to kick start season against Charlton

Gillingham to kick start season against Charlton
3397

On Tuesday night, Gillingham host Charlton Athletic at the Priestfield Stadium, as both teams look for vital points at the bottom end of the League One table.

Gillingham have made a poor start to their League One campaign, as the Gills have taken six points from seven league matches so far this season. Their points tally leaves them just above the relegation zone in the third tier of the English game.

A 4-1 home defeat by Milton Keynes Dons last time out means that the home team has won just one of their seven league matches this season. It also means that the Gills have won just two of their last ten games in League One dating back to last season.

Gillingham have been a difficult team to beat at Priestfield, as the loss against MK Dons ended a 15-game unbeaten run on home soil in League One.

Like their hosts, Charlton have endured a difficult start to their League One campaign. The Addicks are currently 23rd place in the table, having taken just four points from their opening seven league matches. However, a victory would see the visitors leapfrog the Gills in the table.

The problem is that victories have been hard to come by for Charlton of late in League One, as they have won just one of their opening seven games this season in the league.

What is more worrying for Nigel Adkins team is that they have lost five of their previous six matches in the third tier of English football.

Charlton have struggled for results on their travels especially in the league of late, having suffered three straight away defeats in League One.

Forebet predicts that Gillingham will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to kick-start their campaign and move up the table.
