On March 1, at "Priestfield Stadium," a match of the 34th round of English League Two will take place, where Gillingham will face Morecambe. I suggest betting on goals/cards/winner for this match.
Gillingham
After a decent run, the team is going through a downturn. They were relegated from League One and have yet to show any potential for reclaiming their lost position. Moreover, even in League Two, they only managed a modest 12th-place finish in the 2023/2024 season.
Instead of progressing in the new campaign as many expected, the club steadily declined after a promising start. Since late December, they have been unable to win—at best, settling for draws. In February, they shared points consecutively with Walsall, Crewe, and Carlisle United. In the latest round, they suffered a 1-2 home defeat against Fleetwood.
Morecambe
The club reached League One at the beginning of this decade, and as a debutant, they managed to have a couple of decent seasons. However, they ultimately dropped back to the fourth division, finishing in 15th place.
This season, Derek Adams’ side has struggled even more. Their cup performances were decent, though they ended with a heavy defeat—albeit against Chelsea. In League Two, they remain in the relegation zone, but that hasn't stopped them from securing occasional wins—such as against Accrington. However, they suffered another loss in the last round, falling 0-2 to Walsall.
Match Facts
- Gillingham has drawn three of their last four matches.
