With the tense opening game finished it’s time for the second National League meeting of the season. Gateshead eagerly anticipate Barnet in front of their home fans.
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.
Gateshead form and stats
The previous season, Gateshead's league statistics were 29 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses, providing 1st position in the Vanarama National League North. In these 42 matches they scored 99 goals and let in 47. Appearing as the home side in the former season Gateshead generated 18-1-2 (win-draw-lost) with 53 goals and 19 conceded.
Gateshead travelled for their previous game, a trip to Dagenham & Redbridge that ended 2-2. A disappointing finish for Gateshead in their match versus Dagenham & Redbridge as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.
Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Hereford.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 8 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 1 and lost 3.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the National League game versus Notts County in only three days. This game is also played here at Gateshead International Stadium.
Barnet form and stats
Let's have a look at how Barnet performed last season in the National League: They landed a 18th position in the league table after playing out 13 victories, 11 draws and 20 defeats. In total they scored 59 and conceded 89 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 7 - drew 5 and lost 10 with 31/47 goals scored/conceded.
Barnet won their last game, 2-0 versus Halifax Town played at home.
Preceding that, the 2-4 home loss versus Bromley.Barnet are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 4 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats. From a total of 13 matches.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Barnet manager Brennan as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Yeovil Town.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last six matches): Gateshead three wins, zero draws and Barnet three victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.
