Goal Statistics

Walsall's fans will be hoping for goals on Tuesday evening, not least because Gillingham have conceded in each of their last 7 League Two games. A PG of 1.8 for M. Sadler's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been an issue for Gillingham of late. It has been 6 League Two matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Tuesday evening against Walsall.
