Spennymoor Town form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Brewery Field as Spennymoor Town have scored 23 goals to get 22 points from 9 games. The overall stats in the Vanarama National League North are 7-1-1 (wins-draws-losses). Ever since the King's Lynn Town game Spennymoor Town has been unbeatable here at Brewery Field producing five straight wins.
In their previous game, the manager J. Ainsley led his Spennymoor Town to a defeat in the Vanarama National League North match away at Darlington. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Brewery Field. Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Bradford Park Avenue.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Spennymoor Town matches with similar probabilities have ended with 0 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat (from one game).

Spennymoor Town are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (23 goals in 9 games). On the other hand, Spennymoor Town have conceded 10 goals.
Gateshead form and stats
There's been little loot from Gateshead's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 8 away games in the Vanarama National League North. Gateshead only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 4 draws.
The manager M. Williamson was unhappy after their last game, a Vanarama National League North match played at their home ground Gateshead International Stadium. Gateshead suffered a 2-3 loss to Blyth Spartans (placed 21st). Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Alfreton Town.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Gateshead playing away, we found three games. Results were 0 away wins, 0 draws and 3 home wins.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Gateshead manager M. Williamson as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Blyth Spartans.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Gateshead have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.
