Recent respective form guides

Luton Town's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While The Hatters have scored 4, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Gillingham's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the The Gills have hit 4 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Luton Town's 3 points from 2 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position. Gillingham are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 0 points from their 2 games thus far.
