Gillingham form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Gillingham so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-6 (win-draw-lose). With the Gillingham losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

The attacking players of Gillingham have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 376 minutes.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Gillingham, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Newport County (placed 18th). The attacker Mandron got a match rating of 7.1 in that game. Mandron hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

Before that match, the victory at home against Fylde in the FA Cup (1-0). As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 12 similar matches played by Gillingham in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Gillingham, 3 draws and 7 defeats.

Take note: 14 of the last 18 league games involving this side have ended with only one (or no) side scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting words).

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The FA Cup trip to Dagenham & Redbridge.
