Gateshead form and stats

Only two National League home games for Gateshead so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.

A nice win for Gateshead last time playing, versus Ebbsfleet United. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-1 with Richardson and Wearne scoring for the victors. What a game it was for Wearne when beating Ebbsfleet United, applying the finishing touch to three goals!

A strong away win before that one, visiting Dagenham & Redbridge and winning 4-2.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Gateshead have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 4 and lost 5.

Gateshead are traveling soon after this match as the National League match at Halifax Town awaits in two days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Gateshead at home in the league. 6 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Woking form and stats

The National League season is young and Woking have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

Two away games in a row for Woking, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Barnet.

Before that, Woking secured a home win against Rochdale with the score 3-2.

Woking are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. From a total of 5 matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Woking are hosting Dorking Wanderers in the National League only two days away.

It's early days yet, but Woking has scored 0 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head
