After the first game it's Hartlepool United - Gateshead 0-1 in points. Who will conquer the points in this second National League fixture of the season?

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Hartlepool United form and stats

Last season, Hartlepool United's league stats were 9 wins, 16 draws and 21 losses, ending with 23rd position in the League Two. From these 46 matches they scored {52 goals} and conceded 78. Playing at their own stadium in the previous season Hartlepool United managed 5-10-8 (win-draw-lost) with {27 goals} and 36 conceded.

No payout for Hartlepool in their previous match, an away game at Barnet that ended in defeat 2-3.

1-1 away at Stockport County before that.

This is expected to be a close game, with Hartlepool United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hartlepool United as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Hartlepool United has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Hartlepool United as they have a new game in only three days, a National League match thankfully also at home. Maidenhead United are visiting.

Gateshead form and stats

Let's have a look at how Gateshead performed last season in the National League: They landed a 14th position in the league table after playing out 15 victories, 15 draws and 16 defeats. In total they scored 67 and conceded {62 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 6 and lost 9 with 33/33 goals scored/conceded.

Gateshead delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Boreham Wood (placed 10th) in their previous match. It looked so good for Gateshead vs Boreham Wood, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.

A defeat, in the Fa Trophy away at Halifax Town, before that. So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Gateshead playing away and similar expectations, we found 6 relevant matches. Results were 0 Gateshead wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Gateshead now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A National League game at Dagenham & Redbridge is waiting in only three days.

Head 2 Head
