Bolton vs Gillingham predictions and betting tips for tonight’s Champions League fixture with expert free football betting tips, the best odds and team news included.
Gillingham travel to the Macron Stadium to take on high-flying Bolton and we have three football betting tips for the action on Sky Sports tonight.
Bolton will be buoyed by Scunthorpe’s defeat on Saturday. The Iron went down 3-2 at Rochdale and their lead can be cut with a Bolton victory here. They currently sit in 3rd, a point behind 2nd placed Sheffield United and now just four points behind the leaders. They’ve won their last four games in all competitions and will be confident of collecting on home soil. Phil Parkinson decided to play a virtually full-strength side against Sheffield United in the FA Cup last weekend as he aims to keep the momentum going. In the league, Bolton haven’t conceded a goal since they last played in front of the TV cameras, losing 1-0 to Peterborough. They’ve had three consecutive clean sheets beating Northampton, Millwall and Coventry. Zach Clough has been the key man for Wanderers with a recent run of form that has seen him fire two winners in the last couple of games. They’ve been keeping clean sheets, which is a huge positive, but Gillingham are an attacking force and this might not be quite so straightforward. The Gills had a September and October to forget, before improving markedly in November picking up four wins. They’ve won three of the last four games scoring 7 goals in the process and will fancy their chances of penetrating that Bolton backline. Justin Edinburgh’s side also kept their first clean sheet of the season against Rochdale last time out, a problem which has haunted them all campaign.
Bolton vs Gillingham Betting Predictions
Bolton should win this and that’s our banker Bolton vs Gillingham prediction for tonight. Gillingham have had an upturn in form, but did lose at Oxford recently and this is a tough place to visit. I think they will get on the scoresheet though so both teams to score and Bolton to win is also worth a bet.

Bolton vs Gillingham Team News
Bolton could remain unchanged from their victory in the FA Cup. Max Clayton may return. They have a number of long term absentees including Darren Pratley and Mark Davies.
Frank Nouble is back to full fitness and may get another start here. Chris Herd may miss out though. Bradley Garmston and Billy Knott are definitely ruled out through injury.
Bolton vs Gillingham Head to Head
These two sides haven’t met since 2003. The last meeting was played at the Reebok Stadium and was won by Bolton. Gillingham haven’t won any of their last three visits to Bolton dating back to 1999. Marlon King and Iffy Onoura both scored when the sides drew 3-3 back in 2001.
Bolton vs Gillingham Betting Odds
Bolton were always likely to start favourite given their superior league position and current form. The home side can be backed at around 3/4. The draw can be backed at around 29/10 with Gillingham priced at 4/1.
Zach Clough, Jamie Proctor and Gary Madine start as the three favourites in the goalscorers market.
