📊 Form Guide

Gillingham

LLLWLL

Gillingham will be hoping for a better result after the 1-0 League One losing effort in their last game against Plymouth Argyle.

Luke Jephcott (33') was the scorer for Plymouth Argyle.

It has been seldom in recent games that Gillingham haven’t conceded. The reality is that The Gills have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 games, leaking 11 goals during that time. That aside, time will tell whether such a trend shall be replicated here in this match or not.

Ahead of this clash, Gillingham haven't beaten Burton Albion in their previous 2 league matches.

Burton Albion

DLLLLL 🔻

Since a loss in their previous game against Oxford United in League One action, Burton Albion will be aiming to make amends here.

The only scorer from Burton Albion was Kane Hemmings (40'). Matty Taylor (9'), Olamide Shodipo (18', 31') and Josh Ruffels (56', 63') scored for Oxford United.

Burton Albion have been effective going forward in the lead-up to this encounter, having scored 8 goals in their previous 6 matches. While their manager will no doubt take that as a positive sign, The Brewers have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same matches.

Going into this encounter, Burton Albion are without an away win for the past 12 league games. Who knows how long it might last, too.
