A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: League Two
Venue: Priestfield Stadium
Saturday 21st February 2026, 1500hrs (GMT)
Gillingham slumped to a second league defeat on the trot in midweek in League Two as the Kent club were dealt a 1-0 loss away from home at Chesterfield which also made it four defeats in the past five games for Gareth Ainsworth’s side.
Despite picking up all three points with a recent 2-1 home win against Tranmere Rovers, Gillingham have also been handed disappointing losses at the hands of Bromley, Notts County and Crewe Alexandra in recent weeks.
However, it should be noted that all four defeats were inflicted by teams sitting in the top eight places in the League Two table and with Saturday’s visitors, Oldham Athletic, being a more modestly placed 16th in the table, The Gills will fancy their chances of a result at Priestfield Stadium.
Gillingham possess a reasonable looking home record of 6-6-3 22/19 so far.
Oldham Athletic returned to winning ways in the domestic fourth tier in midweek as The Latics registered a welcome 2-0 home win against League Two strugglers Bristol Rovers which in turn ended a previously concerning four-match winless run.
Three defeats within their preceding four matches in League Two saw Oldham slip up against the likes of Barnet, Cambridge United and Swindon Town respectively although two of these three losses were also against teams sitting in the top three of the League Two table.
The visitors have registered just two wins within their last seven matches though overall and with a fairly average looking away record which stands at 4-5-5 13/15 to their name so far this season, Oldham will do well to get something from this upcoming clash.
The Betting Verdict
Gillingham recorded a 1-0 win away at Oldham Athletic in the earlier corresponding fixture and the hosts may just sneak another narrow win here as well at decent odds.
The Pick :
Gillingham 1-0 oldham Athletic
