Accrington Stanley form and stats
17 points is a decent return from 8 League One games here at Wham Stadium for Accrington Stanley. The data says 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Accrington, as their goalkeeper Nathan Baxter has completely shut out the opponents for 277 minutes in the League One.
No payout for Accrington in their previous match, an away game at Lincoln City that ended in defeat 0-4. In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting Charlton Athletic.
As you see from the result above, Accrington suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Accrington have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost two.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Accrington as they are travelling to their away game against Hull City in the League One. That match is three days after this one.
Accrington has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. From these home matches, Accrington have conceded only 6 goals.
Gillingham form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their League One travels is 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. Three has not been a lucky number for Gillingham as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Rochdale match. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Gillingham are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Gillingham aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 225 league minutes without a goal. K. Dempsey was the last player to find the net.
Gillingham might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Burton Albion proved too strong as Gillingham slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at MEMS Priestfield Stadium. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Plymouth Argyle wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
Gillingham are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, six draws and seven defeats. From a total of 17 matches.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The League One trip to Lincoln City.
Gillingham find the net regularly in their away games. 13 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. Gillingham have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.
