Recent respective form guides
Nottingham Forest's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Forest have scored 7, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
Gillingham's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. The Gills have conceded 11 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.
Nottm. Forest see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League One, showing a record of 6 points from their 5 games played so far, Gillingham find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 6 points from their 6 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Nottm. Forest at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Forest will at least gain a draw. Score draw
