History of the Cardiff City v Gillingham fixture

Cardiff City prepare to entertain Gillingham at Ninian Park on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bluebirds are clearly on top, winning 63.16% of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ninian Park was just last season, in September 2003, with Cardiff City annihilating their visitors 5-0 in a League Division One match.
