Things have not really gone Sheffield United’s way in this campaign considering the fact they established themselves as a staple of the Championship over the last decade.

Their fans would be hoping their side delivers better performances in the coming fixtures and end up in a playoff position or a top 2 finish at the end of the season.

They have lost just 3 games all season but it is their 7 draws that is really hindering their chances of pushing up the table. They are currently 8th in league One 16 games into their campaign.

Gillingham is another team that has really been tampered with by draws. Despite losing fewer games than many clubs above them in the table they have accumulated just 16 points through 16 matches in the league.

The club is sitting in a peculiar situation at the table as they are just 4 points behind 13th place Lincoln city but are just a couple of points clear of Fleetwood Town in the relegation zone.

Despite dropping way too many points through draws on the road the hosts have been much more clinical at home losing just a game. The visitors have been dreadful on the road and have just a win in away games in the league since April.

The hosts have clearly been the better side this season and with the teams’ home and away record we expect the hosts to seal a comfortable win.

Sheffield has been one of the better teams defensively and against a struggling away attack they should keep a clean sheet. The Gillingham defensive stats are not bad either so expect a low scoring affair.

考虑到谢菲尔德联队在过去的十年里建立了自己的冠军地位，在这个赛季，事情并没有真正朝着他们的方向发展。

他们的球迷会希望他们的球队在接下来的比赛中有更好的表现，并在赛季结束的时候能够进入季后赛或者进入前2名。

他们整个赛季只输了3场比赛，但他们的7平确实阻碍了他们晋级的机会。他们目前在英超联赛的16场比赛中排名第八。

吉林厄姆是另一支真正被平局干扰的球队。尽管利物浦在积分榜上输掉的比赛比其他俱乐部少，但他们在联赛的16场比赛中只获得了16分。

俱乐部在积分榜上的处境很特殊，他们只比排名第13位的林肯城队落后4分，但只比降级区的弗利特伍德镇队多出几分。

尽管在客场的平局中丢了太多的分，主队在主场表现得更加冷静，只输了一场比赛。客队在客场的表现非常糟糕，自4月以来他们在客场只赢过一场比赛。

很明显，主队本赛季的表现更好，我们希望主队能轻松取胜。

谢菲尔德是防守最好的球队之一，在面对一个艰难的客场进攻时，他们应该保持不失球。吉林厄姆的防守数据也不差，所以可以期待一个低得分事件。
