๐ Form Guide
Gillingham
WLDLDW โ
Gillingham will be looking for a repeat result of the 2-3 League Two victory vs Morecambe.
For Gillingham, the goals were scored by Oliver Hawkins (18'), Timothรฉe Dieng (73') and Connor Mahoney (86'). Jordan Slew (11') and Charlie Brown (64') scored for Morecambe.
Itโs been a rare occasion in recent games where Gillingham havenโt conceded. The facts show that Gillingham have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 8 goals in the process. That sort of trend wonโt necessarily follow through into this next game, of course.
Their prior results show that Gillingham:
- have not been beaten in their last 8 league matches at home. A run that they'll hope to extend here.
- have not won at home in their last 2 matches in the league.
