Gillingham form and stats

There's been little loot from Gillingham's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 15 away games in the League One. Gillingham only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 6 draws. Gillingham seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The regulars enjoyed Gillingham's previous game versus Cambridge United (placed 15th), a 1-0 win played at home. Oliver, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.73. Oliver scored one goal and hit one key pass.

A 0-1 defeat away at Ipswich Town before that.

Gillingham are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, two draws and seven defeats. From a total of 14 matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Gillingham as they have only managed to score 13 times from 15 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Gillingham have conceded 24 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
