Recent respective form guides
Stockport County need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Hatters have scored 5, a worringly large 17 have been leaked at the other end.
Gillingham's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The The Gills's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 6 against.
Stockport Co. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 23 points from 23 matches. Gillingham lie just outside the playoff positions in the Npower League Two, picking up 30 from their 22 games so far.
