Tamworth's form is messier but more productive going forward. They've had a decent win at Halifax and another at Fylde, but also shipped heavy defeats away at Southend and Yeovil. It's a stop-start pattern rather than a settled one.

Gateshead's home matches in this sample have produced very little goalscoring threat.

Comparative Team Statistics: Gateshead vs Tamworth

Recent meetings between the two

The last four meetings have gone three to Tamworth and one to Gateshead, including a 3-1 Tamworth win at the start of this year. There are older results in the record too, going back over a decade, but those don't tell us much about either side as they are now.

Recent head-to-head form leans towards Tamworth, though it's a small sample and both squads have likely changed a fair bit since some of those games.

Where they sit right now

As things stand, Tamworth have eight points from nine league games and sit 21st, while Gateshead have four points from the same number of matches and sit 24th. Gateshead have scored just six league goals and conceded twenty, a rough split at both ends of the pitch.

Tamworth's numbers are a little healthier, sixteen scored and twenty-three conceded, but neither side is anywhere near the top of this division at the moment.

How this one might play out

Gateshead's home matches in this run have brought one league win and a string of low-scoring defeats, so goals from their side of the pitch look scarce right now. Tamworth have shown they can score away from home, but they've also been vulnerable at the back on their travels.

Put together, this has the makings of an open contest between two struggling sides, where recent patterns could just as easily hold as break.
