Recent respective form guides
Gillingham's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Gills have scored 7, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.
Brighton & HA's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
Gillingham are currently lying in 19th place in Coca-Cola Championship having mustered a points tally of 10 from their 9 matches played. Brighton & HA are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 8 points from 9 matches.
