History of the Gillingham v Yeovil Town fixture

Gillingham prepare to entertain Yeovil Town at Priestfield Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Out of their two previous meetings, the The Gills have drawn one game and lost the other.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Priestfield Stadium was less than a year ago, in May 2007, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League One match.
