Struggling Gateshead cross their fingers to pull off a surprise when they host top team Woking in the next league round. It’s 19th vs 8th and the home supporters will have low expectations.

Insights:
  • Gateshead have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their home matches.
  • Woking haven’t played a single 0-0 game.

There have been limited time to rest for the host team, as they played a FA Cup match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Altrincham, was also a home game here at Gateshead International Stadium. The away team is better rested.
