The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Gillingham are in the 14th position while the guesting Burton Albion worry at 24th.
- Gillingham has the most matches under the total-line (14) in League One
- Burton Albion has the most conceded goals (50) in League One
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Gillingham form and stats
Gillingham have played 10 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-1-5 (wins-draws-losses).
In their previous game, the manager S. Evans led his Gillingham to a defeat in the League One match away at Plymouth Argyle. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at MEMS Priestfield Stadium. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Northampton Town.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Gillingham handle that role? We have found five games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are four wins, zero draws and one defeat.
The Gillingham fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 10 matches. Gillingham have conceded 13 in these home matches.
Burton Albion form and stats
There's been little loot from Burton Albion's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 11 away games in the League One. Burton Albion, who have the most conceded goals (50) in League One, only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 5 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row. With the Burton Albion losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Burton Albion failed to get anything from their last game, a League One home match vs Oxford United (placed 12th) that ended with defeat 1-5. A 3-4 loss hosting Wigan Athletic before that.
Burton lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.
Burton Albion are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, one draw and six defeats. From a total of seven matches.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Burton have scored 11 goals in 11 league games away. For Burton, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Gillingham four wins, one draw and Burton Albion five victories. As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
