Team Previews, Form, and Standout Players

Gillingham Preview

Gillingham Predicted Line-up - Glenn Morris; Remeao Hutton, Max Ehmer, Shadrach Ogie, Max Clark; Armani Little, Robbie McKenzie; Jacob Wakeling, Oliver Hawkins, Jayden Clarke; Elliott Nevitt

Gillingham, despite losing their last two, have had a really strong start to the season in a seriously competitive league.

They’re level on points with top spot, and need a result here in order to keep pushing for the title.

Elliot Nevitt’s experience in the division will be vital up top, as Accrington will likely look to defend off the bat.

Accrington Stanley Preview

Accrington Stanley Predicted Line-up - William Crellin; Connor O'Brien, Sonny Aljofree, Farrend Rawson, Zach Awe, Donald Love; Shaun Whalley, Seamus Conneely, Nelson Khumbeni, Tyler Walton; Kelsey Mooney

Accrington have experienced a torrid start to the season, which shows just how devastating this league can be.

They haven’t struggled to score goals really, instead their issue has been conceding, they haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last 24 matches.

William Crellin in goal would need to step up if they’re looking to snatch a result here.
