Gillingham form and stats

8 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses. That’s the product of Gillingham playing as the away team in the League One this season. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Gillingham are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Two away games in a row for Gillingham, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-3 versus Oxford United in the League One. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Shrewsbury Town.

A huge disappointment for Gillingham in their last match (vs Oxford United). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat. Late heartbreak for Gillingham in the Oxford United match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Northampton Town in just four days.

Gillingham are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 30 away goals from 21 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Gillingham have seen the ball go into their own net 29 times on the road.
