Saturday’s Bet of the Day: A win for high-flying Gillingham at Barnet
Top plays bottom in League Two and Martin Allen's men look great value at 17/20 to record a priceless victory over the struggling Bees at Underhill.
With international football taking centre stage this weekend, League Two provides the perfect opportunity for our latest Bet of the Day.
Top-of-the-table Gillingham visit a Barnet side who are rooted to the foot of the table and the Gills are offered at the extremely tempting price of 17/20.
This, of course, appears a great bet on paper, but the statistics also back it up, with Gillingham unbeaten this season, having won both of their away matches.
Barnet, meanwhile, have just a solitary point to show from their four games, with the Bees struggling badly in front of goal and managing to score just twice so far.

The north Londoners have only narrowly avoided relegation in each of the last two campaigns and have started this season extremely poorly, while Gillingham have been flying, with three wins and a draw on their record to this point.
Barnet have not beaten Gillingham at Underhill in the league since 1994 and that looks highly unlikely to change this weekend. The price of 17/20 seems generous given the respective form of the two sides and the history of the fixture.
For some slightly higher odds, the price of 37/20 for Gillingham to be ahead at both half-time and full-time is also worthy of some consideration.
The Gills have scored in the first half of four of their last five league games and with Barnet devoid of confidence, another first-half strike for the team from Kent would surely put them on their way to another victory.
Recommended bet: Gillingham to beat Barnet @ 17/20
