Gillingham will be bidding to stretch their unbeaten run in League Two to four matches when they host Fleetwood Town on Tuesday night.

The hosts, who are 19th in the League Two table, will enter the contest off the back of a goalless draw with Carlisle United, while 14th-placed Fleetwood Town suffered a 2-1 defeat to Grimsby Town on Saturday afternoon.

Gillingham have a record of nine wins, eight draws and 14 defeats from their 31 League Two matches this season, with a total of 35 points leaving them in 19th spot in the table, nine points outside of the relegation zone.

The Gills have not actually been victorious in the fourth tier of English football since the middle of December, but they are unbeaten in their last three matches, sharing the points with Walsall, Crewe Alexandra and Carlisle United.

John Coleman’s side drew 0-0 with Carlisle United on Saturday, and they now have back-to-back home fixtures against Fleetwood and Morecambe before a trip to Newport County on March 4th.

Gillingham have picked up 20 points from their 15 home league matches this season, and they will be welcoming a Fleetwood outfit that have 15 points to show from their 15 away games in League Two during the 2024-25 campaign.

The last two league meetings between these two teams have finished 0-0, including the reverse League Two game back in August.

John Coleman’s side have really struggled for goals in recent weeks and the manager must now decide whether he changes his starting line up from the side that began the game at Carlisle.

With pressure starting to mount on Coleman and the side to start producing before they get dragged into a relegation battle, goals and a performance at Priestfield are a must on Tuesday night.

Fleetwood are unbeaten in their last seven matches against Gillingham dating back to November 2018, but the visitors will enter this match in disappointing form, picking up just two points from their last four games.

Since beating Cheltenham Town 2-0 on February 8th, Pete Wild’s side have lost to Bromley and Grimsby, in addition to drawing with Tranmere Rovers and AFC Wimbledon, with those results dropping them into 14th position.

The Fishermen were relegated from League One last season, but they are not in the playoff picture at this stage, sitting 11 points behind seventh-placed Crewe Alexandra, so a huge effort would be required to challenge for possible promotion.

Fleetwood have lost three of their last four away matches in League Two, with their last success coming at Salford City in the middle of January, and they have only managed one goal in their last three games on their travels.
