Gillingham travel to take on Exeter City at St James' Park 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 lose 26 and win only 8 of the 49 games.
The last time the two teams met at Exeter City was more than a decade ago, in October 1995, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
Exeter City's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Grecians have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Gillingham's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the The Gills have hit 6 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Exeter City's 11 points from 8 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Gillingham lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League Two, picking up 13 from their 8 games so far.
