Both clubs have met plenty of times down the years, and their recent head-to-head record offers a bit of context before we get into the current form and the table.

Tamworth's record over the same length of sample is far steadier. Eight wins, three draws and nine losses, with 37 scored and 41 conceded, shows a team capable of winning games even if they're not watertight at the back.
That gap between the two sides' recent results is hard to ignore when weighing up this one.

League Table
The table tells a similar story to the form guide. Tamworth sit 18th with 14 points from 13 games, while Gateshead are down in 24th on just 4 points from the same number of matches.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17 | Eastleigh | 13 | 4 | 3 | 6 | 14/20 | 15 |
| 18 | Tamworth | 13 | 4 | 2 | 7 | 21/30 | 14 |
| 19 | Wealdstone | 13 | 3 | 3 | 7 | 17/24 | 12 |
| 22 | Scunthorpe | 12 | 3 | 1 | 8 | 15/21 | 10 |
| 23 | Solihull Moors | 13 | 2 | 1 | 10 | 13/35 | 7 |
| 24 | Gateshead | 13 | 1 | 1 | 11 | 8/31 | 4 |
Gateshead's solitary win all season, against a goal difference of minus 23, underlines how tough their campaign has been so far.

What to Expect
Put the form and the table together and the contrast is clear. Tamworth arrive with more points, a healthier recent record and the slight edge in their last few head-to-head meetings.
Gateshead's main hope would be turning things around at home, but their season-long numbers give little evidence that a corner has been turned just yet.

Everything in the numbers leans Tamworth's way, from the table to recent form to the head-to-head. Without a market to measure that against, though, there's nothing concrete to recommend here.
If a line does appear, it's Gateshead's home record and lack of goals that would need the closest scrutiny before backing anything involving them.
