- Stevenage have won their last 5 games and an impressive 14 of their 17 matches in all competitions this season including beating higher league opposition Wycombe, Peterborough (twice) and Reading. After ending a spell of no wins in 11 (and 3 wins in 24) back in April, they have won 18 of their 24 games.
- The only games Stevenage have not won from the 17 played this season have come on their League 2 travels at Walsall (draw), Salford (loss) and Bradford (loss) leaving them with an away record of W3, D1 and L2. They have won all 7 home league games with 5 clean sheets from 6.
- There are goals aplenty on Stevenage's league travels. Along with Bradford, Colchester and Hartlepool, they are 1 of 4 League 2 sides not to have kept a clean sheet away from home. However, they are also 1 of 4 sides to have scored in every away game (along with Leyton Orient, Tranmere & Crewe).
- Stevenage have not allowed their opponents to take a shot on target in either of the last 2 games played. At an average of 2.7 shots on target conceded per game, this is the best record in the division.
- Stevenage's 135 shots off target (the most in League 2) has contributed to them taking more shots at goal (200) than anyone else in the division. They have the joint highest this season in a game with 24 whilst the most the Gills have managed in a league match is 13.
