Gillingham will welcome Walsall to Priestfield on Saturday afternoon for League Two action. The Gills had a poor 2024/25 season, finishing 17th while the visiting Saddlers were fourth, missing out on automatic promotion by one point. Let's make our prediction on this game.
Both times these teams met last season finished in a draw, a 1-1 in Walsall and a 0-0 in Kent. Gillingham started this season with a 1-1 draw at Accrington Stanley, while Walsall beat Swindon 2-1 at home.
Gillingham are yet to lose since Gareth Ainsworth took over, though there have been seven draws in those 10 games. Four of those matches have been at home, keeping three clean sheets, with three of those four coming against teams who finished in the top 10 last season.
An injury-time winner for Bradford against Fleetwood on the final day last season cost Walsall promotion. They were a tough team to break down away from home, conceding less than a goal a game on average.
There was no apparent hangover from that with their opening day success, playing with 10 men for a long time in that game before their injury time winner.

Our Gillingham vs Walsall Prediction
These teams have a habit of cancelling one another out when they meet at Priestfield. Each of the three times they have clashed since they returned to League Two at this ground have ended in a stalemate. Although old games don't have a massive bearing, even prior to that, eight of the last 10 meetings in Gillingham have ended in a draw.
Goals are pretty hard to come by in Gillingham games these days, and with a strong team coming to town, the chances are that it is going to be another defensive first display. Our Gillingham vs Walsall prediction is under 2.5 goals.
