This is despite Sunderland managing just one away win so far this season.

Out of the last four away trips in the League One, Sunderland have only come up with four goals while conceding eight. A lot of it has to do with the heavy loss against Portsmouth. Gillingham, though, have struggled for any creativity and it is not a surprise that they have not scored in three consecutive matches.
Goals from both teams – no
Sunderland are a lot stronger when it comes to games at the Stadium of Light. The same cannot be said about their exploits away from home. Meanwhile, Gillingham are on a three-game streak where they have created very little and scored none.
