Lincoln City could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a EFL Trophy game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Hull City. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Gillingham form and stats
5 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Gillingham have to build on here at MEMS Priestfield Stadium in the League One.
An away draw last time out for Gillingham, facing Sunderland in a game that ended 2-2. Before that, Gillingham had a home game versus Crewe Alexandra which ended with a victory 4-1.
Gillingham are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 13 games. On the other hand, Gillingham have conceded 17 goals.
Lincoln City form and stats
Lincoln City have an excellent away record in the League One so far with 8-2-1 from 11 games. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Lincoln City's record of five away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Accrington Stanley game.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Hull City (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) (placed 1st) in their previous outing. The EFL Trophy match ended in a draw 1-1. A 0-1 loss hosting Doncaster Rovers before that.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Lincoln manager M. Appleton as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Hull City.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Lincoln have scored 16 goals in 11 league games away. The Lincoln City defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (5 goals in 11 games).
