General match analysis
Chesterfield have a clear edge in chance creation at home, averaging 16 shots compared with Gillingham’s 9 away from home, while their xG stands at 1.80 versus the opponents’ 0.95. The hosts also dominate possession, recording 67% in home matches, whereas the visitors average just 37%. Both teams have collected 0.8 points per game over their last five fixtures, but Gillingham have conceded as many as 12 goals during this period, compared with just 3 conceded by Chesterfield.

However, Chesterfield’s superior chance creation and territorial dominance point towards a narrow victory.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The strongest signal points to BTTS - No, as Chesterfield have failed to score in 4 of their last 5 matches, averaging just 0.2 goals, while Gillingham have averaged 0.6 goals. BTTS has occurred in 0% of the hosts’ last five matches, compared with just 20% for the visitors, well below the league average of 46%. Chesterfield have also shown the stronger defense in their current form, conceding an average of 0.6 goals and 0.88 xG per match, while Gillingham’s attacking xG stands at only 1.0. The hosts should create more chances, as they average 18 shots and 7 on target, compared with 9 and 3 respectively for their opponents, but this does not necessarily mean that both teams will score. The most likely scenario is therefore one in which at least one team, particularly Gillingham, fails to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Chesterfield created chances worth an average of 1.45 xG over their last five matches, while Gillingham allowed opponents 2.00 xG, giving the hosts a solid basis for scoring. At the same time, Chesterfield’s actual finishing has been very poor: the team averaged just 0.2 goals per match in this run, compared with Gillingham’s 0.6. The visitors’ attack generated an average of 1.00 xG, but Chesterfield allowed opponents only 0.88 xG, which limits the projected goal output for the away side. In their last five matches, Chesterfield never exceeded the 2.5-goal line, while Gillingham did so in 60% of their games, making a total of 1-3 goals the most likely outcome. The Under 3.5 line also has an edge given the projected total of 2.30 goals, below the league average of 2.42.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time followed by a Chesterfield win, as Gillingham were level at the break in 60% of their last five matches, while Chesterfield averaged just 0.2 goals before half-time. After the interval, however, the hosts should be able to exploit their clear advantage in chance creation: their average xG stands at 1.93 compared with 0.95 for the visitors, while shots on target favor them 7–3. Gillingham conceded an average of as many as 2.4 goals in their last five matches, contrasting with just 0.6 goals scored per game. Chesterfield are also in poor form, with one win and three defeats in their last five outings, which is why a draw at half-time remains more likely than an early lead for the hosts. Chesterfield’s expected advantage in the final result is primarily underpinned by their 18 shots per match compared with Gillingham’s 9, as well as the visitors’ defensive weakness.
