Gillingham form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Gillingham's two home games in the League Two so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Priestfield Stadium.

Stress levels are on the rise for Gillingham's attacking players as they have now played 230 minutes without scoring in a league game. Ransom (own goal) was their last goal scorer.

Gillingham's previous fixture was a EFL Trophy game also played at home, finishing 2-1 versus Leyton Orient. The home team hope to to build on that result.

A League Two defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Grimsby Town.

Betting heads-up: This side have finished 6 league matches in a row with only one (or none) team finding the net.

Gillingham has scored {1 goals} so far and conceded {3 goals} from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Harrogate Town form and stats

Harrogate Town are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the League Two, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).

The regulars enjoyed Harrogate's previous game versus Nottingham Forest U21, a EFL Trophy win (2-1) played at home.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Barrow.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Harrogate Town playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 0 away wins, 3 draws and 1 home win.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Harrogate as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Harrogate Town have conceded 5 goals in their away games.
