Gillingham face a trip to Bournemouth at Dean Court on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Gills will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League One match.
