The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Gillingham are in the 11th position while the guesting AFC Wimbledon worry at 19th.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
