Gillingham – Salford City

Gillingham host Salford City in what promises to be a tightly contested league fixture, with the home side sitting in 11th place on nine points after two wins, three draws and a single loss, scoring eight and conceding six. Salford, currently 15th with seven points from two victories, one draw and three defeats, have struggled defensively, having let in nine goals while finding the net only seven. The gap between the two teams is narrow – just two points – and both will be keen to improve their positions before the winter break. Historically the sides have exchanged points in recent meetings, so a hard‑fought draw or a narrow win could prove decisive for their mid‑table ambitions.
