anyway to check arrival gates?

Even if it meets MCT and is legal, does 65 minutes meet SCT (sensible connection time)?

i will have a checked bag.
I am looking at a similar situation to this, a 65 minute connection to a once-a-day flight. Also ex-UK so I know that I can avoid security, and HBO only, so I think that I have a good/very good chance of making it. However, is there any way to check which gates (typically) the inbound flight will arrive at? [I can check departing on thy.com]. I appreciate that gates can vary, but I'd like to have the 'likely' route mapped already in my head.
