Brighton & HA prepare to entertain Gillingham at Withdean Stadium on Tuesday evening, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having chalked up an impressive 30 wins out of 44 previous matches.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Withdean Stadium was just last season, in March 2008, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-2 thriller, in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides
Brighton & Hove Albion's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Seagulls have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of Gillingham is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the The Gills have hit 5 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Brighton & HA are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 10 points from their 11 games thus far. Gillingham's 14 points from 11 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Brighton & HA at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Seagulls will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
