Gillingham form and stats

The visitors are W0-D2-L3 on the road this term. That's in the League Two.

The Gillingham goalkeeper Glenn Morris is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 237 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

The supporters enjoyed Gillingham's previous match versus Brighton U21, a EFL Trophy win (3-2) played at home. Eureka; their first victory in the league after eight games not winning.

Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Sutton United in the League Two.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Gillingham playing away and similar expectations, we found 9 relevant matches. Results were 2 Gillingham wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats.

A tale of few goals? 10 of this team's most recent 11 league rounds have contained zero, one or two goals.

After this away game Gillingham return home for a EFL Trophy game against Colchester United. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Gillingham are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 5 away games. Gillingham have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
