Brackley vs Gillingham predictions and football betting tips for tonight’s FA Cup first round replay with reasons for each bet and the best odds.
It’s a week of FA Cup replays and the televised tie on Wednesday sees League One Gillingham visit St James’ Park to face National League North outfit Brackley.
This tie ended 2-2 when they met 10 days ago. Brackley raced into a two goal lead and a shock looked on the cards. Frank Nouble, a largely forgotten man at the Priestfield grabbed two quick-fire goals to level proceedings and level the tie. The Gills can boast two victories in a row since the sides previously met with a victory over West Brom Under 23s in the EFL Trophy and this was swiftly followed by a much needed League One victory over Northampton. Justin Edinburgh’s side left it late to take all three points with a last minute Jay Emmanuel Thomas strike from distance giving them their first 3 point haul since the 24th September. They still haven’t kept a clean sheet all season and despite claiming a maximum return, they weren’t able to keep Northampton off the scoresheet. The victory has relieved the pressure on manager Edinburgh, who was deleted his side finally got what they deserved. Brackley are in fine form and manager Kevin Wilkin has just collected the manager of the month accolade. They can boast an unbeaten away record and they’ve won four of the last five games. Steve Diggin has been in fine form the home side and he netted a hat-trick in their 3-2 win over Boston at the weekend.
