Gillingham Preview – Can Gills jump into play-off pack?
A sustained run of positive results has not only helped lift Gillingham up into the top half of League One but also within striking distance of the play-off pack in the third tier and indeed, all three points on Wednesday night against Wigan Athletic would see The Gills jump into 6th place.
Having lost just once in their last eight matches overall, Gillingham are making a late surge for a possible place in the play-offs and have flown under the radar despite picking up recent wins against MK Dons, Ipswich Town, Swindon Town and Lincoln City – the latter two victories both being a way from home.
Although Gillingham’s overall record at home reads an inconsistent looking 8-3-8 27/28, the hosts bring a four-match unbeaten run into this clash, winning three of these four matches.
Wigan Athletic Preview – Can Wigan grab lifeline?
A 0-0 draw at home with Ipswich Town on the weekend wasn’t enough to prevent Wigan Athletic from dropping down into third from bottom in League One and this became a third match without a win for the visitors too.
Having won just three of their last 11 matches overall in the third tier, Wigan continue to fight against the drop down to League Two but while they’ve picked up wins on the road at Northampton Town, Bristol Rovers and Plymouth Argyle, The Latics have also suffered losses at Oxford United, Peterborough United and Accrington Stanley.
It’s interesting to note that these wins were against opposition sitting in the bottom half of League One while their defeats were mostly against teams sitting in the top half, and this doesn’t bode well for this trip to Kent on Wednesday night.
