Recent respective form guides

Bury's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. The Shakers have conceded a disappointing 8 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Gillingham's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the The Gills have hit 5 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Bury lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League Two, picking up 25 points from their 16 games so far. Gillingham's total of 27 points from their 16 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League Two.
