It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Dorking Wanderers and Gateshead.
Dorking Wanderers form and stats
A National League draw at home so far for Dorking Wanderers. Last season their home statistics were 17 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from 20 matches.
Dorking Wanderers enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Maidstone United's place. The match ended 4-2 with Seager (2) and McShane (2) scoring. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Oldham Athletic (2-3).This is expected to be a close game, with Dorking Wanderers perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Wanderers as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Dorking Wanderers has won 1 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.
At Meadowbank Stadium, Dorking Wanderers has the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Gateshead form and stats
The visitors settled for one point in their first National League away game of the season. During their previous season 21 away games resulted in 11 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats. With three draws in a row for Gateshead the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.
Gateshead delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Notts County (placed 6th) in their previous game.
A draw for Gateshead before that, at their own venue hosting Barnet (2-2).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 9 relevant matches. Results were 3 Gateshead wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats.
Gateshead have the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
