It's early days in the Vanarama National League North and both Gateshead and Gloucester City are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
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 home fans saw their team lose the first Vanarama National League North game of the season here at Gateshead International Stadium. Last season these fans witnessed 10 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses from Gateshead's 17 home games.
D. Ward was the last player to score a league goal for Gateshead and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Gateshead haven't scored in 210 minutes.
The fans are hoping that Gateshead will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Vanarama National League North game against AFC Telford United (placed 2nd). Preceding that match was a defeat to Fylde (0-1).
At Gateshead International Stadium, Gateshead has the goal stats of 0-1 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Gloucester City form and stats
Only one away game in the Vanarama National League North so far for Gloucester City and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 3 victories, 3 draws and 10 losses from 16 travels.
Impressive finishing from M. McClure (3), T. O'Sullivan, B. Mensah and A. Asante secured the home win 6-1 against Blyth Spartans in their previous game. Prior to that result Gloucester City won their away game at Chorley. The scoreline was 2-1.
As mentioned above, Gloucester was the only team on the pitch versus Blyth Spartans in their previous game, winning 6-1. This could be a tougher task. M. McClure certainly enjoyed Gloucester City's last game versus Blyth Spartans, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 6-1 victory.
