- The only issue to be decided in the top 7 of League 2 is between Rotherham & Cheltenham for automatic promotion. Burton could still earn automatic promotion themselves if they beat the Gills & Rotherham lose and there is a swing of 8 or more goals!
- Albion have the best home record in the league with 51 points. The 3 best home sides (Northampton & Cheltenham) are all at home today.
- Burton won only 5 of their 10 opening home league fixtures before going on a run of 9 straight home league wins in a row. This run ended with a 1-0 defeat to Chesterfield (part of a 4 game spell without a win) but Albion have won their last 2 home games.
- On their travels, Burton have conceded 3 in a game 7 times, 4 once and 7 once but have only let in no more than 3 once at home (a 3-3 draw)
- Defeat today could leave the Gills as the 6th best side in L2 over the last 23 games but a win could leave us as the best.
- The Gills have lost both their last two final day away league matches. Total record for final day away games stands at W 11, D 12, L 30.
