Overall League One stats at home this season for Gillingham are 9-3-5 (wins-draw-losses).

Gillingham drew their last game, 2-2 away at Sunderland. Before that game, the home loss against AFC Wimbledon with the scoreline 1-2.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Gillingham matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, one draw and zero defeats (from three games).

Southend United form and stats

Southend's mission in Carabao Cup last season failed in the 2nd round.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Southend United so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-13 (win-draw-lose). It's all red in the travel logs of Southend, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.

Southend had fun at their own home last time out, beating Bristol Rovers 3-1. Terrell Egbri and Charlie Kelman scored. It was a League One defeat before that one as the away game against Oxford United wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Southend United when being an outsider away as they are today, we find seven matches with the visitors losing six times, drawing zero and winning one game.

A quick return to home after this game, as Southend are hosting West Ham United U21 in the EFL Trophy only three days away.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Southend have scored 21 goals in 18 league games away. The Southend manager S. Campbell has some worries about the defense as 43 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Gillingham, two draws and three wins for Southend United. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
