The FA Cup is back in action with another round of fixtures as Gillingham lock horns with AFC Fylde in an Important clash.

Gillingham avoided a defeat in the reverse fixture by fighting out a 1-1 draw when they visited Fylde and they will be looking for a much better result with the backing of their home fans. Gillingham are on a very decent home run as they have lost just one of their past 6 games on their patch. Prior to this game, Gillingham have only faced AFC Fylde once before which ended in a 1-1 draw and have only lost one of their last 19 home FA Cup matches against non-league teams, a loss that came in 2010. What an incredible record. Going into this game, Gillingham have won their last four home FA Cup replays and will be looking to extend that record.

AFC Fylde on the other hand will come into this in poor form. The National League North side have lost two of their last three games on the road and are struggling to find consistency this season. Of their last 6 games on the road, they have only managed to win only one so far and have scored only eight goals in those 6 matches. What a poor run of performances going into this game. This bad away form will be a major cause for concern as their hosts have a fairly decent home record.To add to their worries, AFC Fylde do have some injury concerns and the Manager will be forced to make some unwanted changes.

Records have shown that the home side have the clear advantage going into this game. The injury concerns for the visiting side, AFC Fylde, coupled with their very poor away form has inclined us to back the home side, Gillingham, who are on a decent home run, to secure the victory in this game and take all three points by the end of the match.
