Reason For Gillingham vs Rochdale Betting Tips
Rochdale are a team who’ve been in excellent form recently, they’ve recorded back-to-back 4-0 wins in the league and are looking tough for anyone to face right now. On the other hand, Gillingham haven’t enjoyed the best of seasons and have won just one of their last five at home.
The bet to go for, at odds of 11/8, is ‘Rochdale to Score Over 1.5 Goals’. The visitors have been in good-scoring form of late, notching eight goals in their last two matches and they are fancied to carry this on now, playing away from home against a side who’ve leaked goals all season long.
In front of a home crowd this season, Gillingham have kept zero clean sheets and, against a Rochdale side who’ve been rampant of late, they aren’t likely to start now. The hosts have conceded 11 goals in total at home, letting in two or more on four occasions (all-competitions).
Rochdale may have only scored twice three times when playing away from home this season but this match represents an excellent chance for them to make that four. They come into this game having scored for fun against both Swindon and Walsall and it’s hard to see why the goals should suddenly stop here.
In addition, Rochdale carry with them an in-form striker in the form of Steve Davies. The forward has notched four goals in his last two matches and only adds to the visitor’s threat here. At odds of 2/1, ‘Steve Davies to Score Anytime’ is a worthy side bet in this fixture.

Three of the last five renewals of this fixture have seen both sides walk off the pitch with 1-1 draws, while Gillingham won the other two encounters 2-0 and 1-0. The last time this pair met was back April of this year – a fixture that ended all-square.
