REF’s picks

Backing Accrington Stanley to stay under 1.5 goals makes sense given their recent struggles to break teams down consistently. They face a Gillingham side that has shown enough defensive discipline recently to keep them largely quiet. Expect a tight encounter where clear-cut chances are at a premium for the hosts.

1. 1Accrington's attack has lacked punch, managing just seven goals across their last five outings.
2. 2Gillingham's backline has tightened up noticeably in several recent fixtures, limiting open-play opportunities.
3. 3A cautious tactical battle could see the hosts struggle to find multiple breakthroughs against a stubborn defence.
