Gillingham vs Southampton Prediction & Betting Tips - Carabao Cup
by Kennedy Kechula in Carabao Cup Predictions
Gillingham will on Tuesday welcome Southampton in the first round of the 2023/24 League Cup. The winner of this single-leg tie will advance to the second round. Gillingham were 1-0 winners away to Stockport County on matchday one of the new League Two campaign. They will hope to replicate this success in their first match of the season at home. Neil Harris’ charges have now won their last two matches after they closed out their pre-season with a win. The Gills defeated Dagenham and Redbridge also by a solitary goal to claim their fourth win in eight build-up matches. They lost the other four, three without scoring a goal. Last season, Gillingham went all the way to the fourth round of the League Cup. They even defeated a Premier League club along the way and will be confident of another strong run this season. Gillingham and Southampton have played each other twice before. This was back when they competed in League One in 2009/10. Both teams won their respective home matches then.
Southampton are playing outside of the Premier League for the first time in 11 years. The club was relegated at the tail end of last season. They will aim for an immediate return and have started off on the right footing. Russell Martin’s charges began the new English Championship season by winning 2-1 away to Sheffield Wednesday. This saw them get back to winning ways after they had lost their last two pre-season matches. Southampton ended last season’s Premier League campaign without a win in their final 13 matches. They also struggled in pre-season and won only one of their five friendlies. The Saints have had success in the League Cup in recent seasons. They finished as runners-up in 2017 and were semi-finalists last season.***
