Gateshead form and stats

5 victories, 8 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Gateshead have to build on here at Gateshead International Stadium in the National League. When Gateshead hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Aldershot Town, Gateshead, Yeovil Town, Halifax Town, Torquay United, Dorking Wanderers and Maidstone United), they have won 2 of 5 matches! Two home wins in a row for Gateshead bring valid hopes of a third.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Filip Marshall not having conceded a league goal in 180 minutes.

A nice win for Gateshead last time playing, versus Yeovil Town. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-0 with Dinanga (2), Pani and Bailey scoring for the victors. As mentioned above, Gateshead "killed" Yeovil Town in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

A 3-3 result against Barnet (after extra-time, 4-1 on penalties) before that one, played at their own home stadium in the Fa Trophy. The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Gateshead's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 6 games, won 5 matches, drawn 1 and lost 0.

Gateshead are traveling soon after this match as the National League match at Altrincham awaits in three days.

The Gateshead fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 28 in 19 matches. Gateshead have conceded 26 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
