Match Analysis
Walsall come into this fixture in strong form and with home advantage, while Gillingham are in a deep slump, losing their last five and conceding heavily. Walsall's defense has tightened up, and Gillingham's attack has been largely ineffective, suggesting a home win with a clean sheet is likely. The match may start cagey, but Walsall's superior quality and form should tell in the second half.
