by Daniel Ngulu in FA Cup Predictions
Two sides really struggling in their leagues are set to face off in the third round of the FA Cup as League Two side Gillingham plays host to Premier League side Leicester City. Gillingham are fighting relegation in League Two, where they are bottom of the standings and their 1-0 loss to Stevenage in the last game was the fourth straight loss. That match also marked the third game in four that they failed to score, and they have conceded two or more goals in three of the last five. In the last nine matches, Gillingham have registered just one win and they have failed to score in six of the last 10 matches. Gillingham have conceded two goals three times in their last five matches while they have scored four times in the last six matches. At home, they have just one clean sheet in five matches. This will be the first time these two meet since facing off in 2005 in the Championship.
Leicester City are also on a poor run coming into this game; they have suffered straight losses in the last three matches, but they have four wins in the last seven games. In their last 10 matches, they’ve lost four times. They have beaten Gillingham in three of their last four meetings but coming into this game, they have failed to score in two of the last three games. They have no clean sheet in the last three matches but they’ll bank so much on their away form, which has been rather impressive lately. The visitors have four wins in five away matches. They’ve scored two or more goals in four of their last five away game and in nine straight away games, Leicester haven't failed to score.

Our Gillingham vs Leicester Prediction
Gillingham aren’t doing well, and neither are Leicester City but the visitors here have a good scoring run, which will give them the edge here, plus the fact that they have bigger players. Leicester City have done well away from home and for this Gillingham v Leicester City game, we will go for an away win to nil.
