Brentford v Gillingham
Football : England : Coca Cola League One
Saturday 6th February 2010 – Kickoff 3pm

---

Brentford could extend their unbeaten eight-game home run at their Griffin Park ground this weekend when they entertain Gillingham.

Brentford (10th) Home : 5-7-2 19:15

The Bees’ unbeaten home run includes wins over Colchester United (1-0) and 3-1 against Carlisle United, while earning creditable draws with Leeds United (0-0), Charlton Athletic (1-1) and Southampton (1-1).

Interestingly, Brentford have failed to score only twice at home all season (0-0 v Brighton & 0-0 v Leeds), so might be worth backing them in scoring first in this match (currently 1.66 with bet365).

Brentford’s home record stands at 5-7-2 19:15, with striker Charlie MacDonald (5 goals) & midfielder Myles Weston (5 goals) providing most of the goals.

Gillingham (19th) Away 0-3-11 11:31

The Gills’ poor away record continues, and they are the joint highest in the league with 31 goals against on the road.

In fact the 19th placed Gillingham have the worst away record in League One, and this is emphasized by the fact that they remain as the only team not to have recorded an away win so far.

No surprise then, that Gillingham's away record reads 0-3-11 11:31 but they do have players like striker Simeon Jackson (11 goals, 4assists) and midfielder Curtis Weston (6 goals) that can do some damage.

Gillingham are more than capable of scoring at least one goal (as they indeed have done in their last six away matches), so keep an eye on the draw (1-1 looks a good side bet @ 6.50 with bet365).

The Betting Verdict

With home advantage though, against a side yet to win on the road, I have to go with a Brentford home win here, as the odds are too good to turn down
