The Gills have won all 4 matches against Burton at Priestfield (the last 4-1 in October 2012) scoring 9 goals and conceding 2 in the process.
10 goals were scored the last 2 times the sides met, more than in all the remaining 5 games between the sides combined.
Burton scored 5 goals in 9 league games before matching the total in 1 game against Colchester. They have won their last 3 games in the league and 5 of their last 6.
Before today fewer goals (40) have been scored in Burton games than any other League 1 side, partly due to having the leanest defence (just 16 conceded).
Only Blackpool and Doncaster had scored fewer goals away from home than Burton's 8 before today.
Burton and Wigan managed clean sheets in almost half their league games (9). The Gills have managed 5 but have only 1 blank sheet in the league to Burton's 6.
The 2 goals Burton scored in their last 5 away league games both resulted in wins, but the 3 others were goal-less defeats. They conceded 7 in that period.
