- The Gills have double the number of wins over Cambridge (12 to 6) and only 2 of the 20 meetings have ended level. Neither of those draws have been at Priestfield.
- The last 3 meetings with Cambridge have all been away from home, the last meeting at Priestfield coming back in October 1999. The Gills have won 7 of the 8 meetings at home (including the last 6) with Cambridge's only win occurring in September 1972.
- Both sides have 1 win each from the last 2 times the sides met. This was Cambridge's only win in 7 ties (a spell during which the Gills won 4 of the games) and came in a cup game meaning that the Gills are unbeaten in 5 league games dating back to 1990.
- Cambridge are winless in their last 4 league and cup games, losing their last 2 after 2 draws. These followed 5 straight wins in all competitions (including a win at Newcastle) which was part of an 8-game unbeaten run.
- The Gills have faced the most shots on target (159) in League 1, an average of 5.3 every game. Cambridge have managed 5 in their last 3 league games combined after earning 5 in each of the 3 games before them. The Gills have taken 12 shots on target in their last 3 games.
- Before kick off, 26 of Cambridge's 38 league goals had been scored in the second halves of their league games, 2 more than the Gills had scored in all of their first and second halves combined and from 1 fewer game played.
(19.46) Kick Off [ 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 ]
(20.01) A clash of heads involving Thompson causes a 4 minute stoppage. He comes on bandaged up just as the Gills put large amounts of pressure on the Cambridge goal. Masterson then goes off for a blood injury of his own.
(20.03) Kelman has a chance to score from close range but it deflects into the 'keepers hands.
(20.18) Lee has the ball at his feet on the edge of the box. 2 attempts to steal the ball fail and Lee sends a neat pass to the right and the cross goes out for a corner. As the ball comes in, Lee gets a header towards goal but there are too many white shirts to block it. A follow up is collected by the keeper.
(20.24) A Cambridge shot looks like its going wide for a goal kick but its hooked off the byline and across the face of goal at pace but just ahead of any United attackers.
(20.26) McKenzie goes on a mazy run but runs into trouble. Brophy runs into the space and sends a pass to the centre spot where a Tucker lunge misses the ball but at full stretch, the attack ends after the ball was unable to be poked home with enough pace.
(20.35) Cambridge work some good space inside the box, pulling Chapman out of position. With the goal at their mercy, a turn and shot goes high and wide.
(20.35) Half time 0-0 [ 49:01 ]
(20.51) The second half kicks off.
(21.11) Cambridge head an effort just over the bar.
(21.25) A thunderous shot from Thompson is palmed down by the 'keeper and put out for a corner by a defender.
(21.28) A ball in by the Gills slams off a Cambridge hand. No penalty given and the following ball in narrowly evades every Gills foot and goes out for a goal kick. The goal kick is taken, the Gills counter attack and Dickson-Peters goes to ground inside the box far too easily.
(21.31) Lee takes a corner, the 'keeper collects but drops it and McKenzie's shot is deflected wide for another corner.
(21.31) GOAL! Gillingham 1-0 Cambridge Utd: Oliver
(21.36) May shoots a few feet wide for Cambridge but with the left side of the Gills goal at their mercy.
(21.40) Chapman collects but spills the ball. A goal-bound certain to score comes off of Jackson's outstretched ankle on the goal-line but play is brought back for a foul on the Gills' keeper.
