AccaPlanner Recommends...

Match Preview

Gillingham will host Reading at MEMS Priestfield Stadium in what promises to be an intriguing friendly matchup on July 12. Gillingham enters the game with a solid run of form, boasting three wins and two draws in their last five matches, while Reading has struggled, managing only one win alongside four losses. This disparity in form could play a significant role in the outcome, as Gillingham looks to build momentum ahead of the new season. Historically, Gillingham has had the upper hand in their recent encounters with Reading, winning two of the last three meetings. However, both teams will likely approach this friendly with an eye on squad rotation and tactical experimentation. Given Gillingham's home advantage and current form, they may be favoured to secure a victory. The odds suggest a tight contest, with Gillingham at 2.9 and Reading at 2.1, reflecting the uncertainty surrounding friendly matches. With both teams keen to find their rhythm, a low-scoring affair could be on the cards, making the under 2.5 goals market an interesting angle to consider.
