Recent respective form guides

Gateshead's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Tynesiders have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Forest Green's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Rovers have hit 8 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Gateshead are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 31 points from 33 matches. Forest Green are stuck down in the relegation zone of Blue Square (Conference) Premier with a return of just 27 points from their 32 games thus far.
