Gillingham and Sunderland have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the League One.

Gillingham form and stats
Overall League One stats at home this season for Gillingham are 4-1-4 (wins-draw-losses).

Sunderland form and stats
Sunderland have only collected 8 points from their away games in the League One, after 2-2-4 (8 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Sunderland's last three away games as they have all been lost.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League One home defeat versus Burton Albion with 1-2 on the scoreboard. A draw for Sunderland before that, at their own venue hosting Coventry City (1-1).
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sunderland as they have only managed to score 7 times from 8 away games in the league. 11 goals have been conceded by Sunderland in these games.
