Straining Gateshead hope to pull off a small shock when they greet high-flying Chesterfield in the next league fixture. It’s 20th vs 5th and the home fans will have modest expectations.
- Gateshead have the most dropped points from leading position (26) in National League
- Chesterfield have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Chesterfield could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a National League game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Wrexham. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

There might be some fixture complaints from Chesterfield as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 1-2 against Wrexham.
A 0-1 loss hosting Oldham Athletic before that.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Chesterfield manager Cook as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Southend United.
Chesterfield have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 16 league away games 23 goals have been scored.
