As for Bromley, ex-Gills midfielder Ben Thompson is likely to feature for the Ravens as will Jude Arthurs who came through the club’s academy system.
Manager Comments:
Mark Bonner - “I am really excited about the game – these types of games are great because the atmosphere will look after itself as there is always a bit more edge and intensity in a local derby.
“They had a brilliant season last season to get promoted and have acquitted themselves well to League Two, they were excellent at Walsall last week."
Previous Meetings:
The clubs haven’t met in any competitive competition since November 2006 when Bromley visited ME7 in the first round of the Emirates FA Cup. Gills won 4-1 on the day thanks to two goals from Mark Bentley, and then two more from sub Guylain N’dumbu-N’sungu.
Bromley had made the score 2-1, but Gills quickly quashed any chances of an upset to book their place in round two, where they lost to Bristol City.
Gillingham and Bromley, amazingly, have not played each in other a league fixture since March 1895!
Previous Meetings:
Bromley Win – 5/4
Draw – 11/5

Special Bet: Jayden Clarke to score first in a 2-1 Gills win = 55/1.
