Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Fleetwood Town in 9th and Gillingham in 14th place.
Fleetwood Town and Gillingham should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Fleetwood Town form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Highbury Stadium as Fleetwood Town have scored 16 goals to get 22 points from 9 games. The overall stats in the League One are 7-1-1 (wins-draws-losses). Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Fleetwood Town, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
The fans are hoping that Fleetwood Town will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the League One game against Blackpool (placed 4th). Before that match, a FA Cup win away at Crawley Town.
Fleetwood Town have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Highbury Stadium with 16 goals in 9 league matches. From these home matches, Fleetwood Town have conceded only 7 goals.
Gillingham form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Gillingham so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 1-5-3 (win-draw-lose).
Gillingham are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the League One against Sunderland (placed 11th). Before that, Gillingham secured a home win against Doncaster Rovers with the score 3-0.
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.
