Recent respective form guides

Eastbourne Borough's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While have scored 8, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Gateshead's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Tynesiders have hit 5 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Eastbourne B. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Blue Square (Conference) Premier with a return of just 22 points from their 28 games thus far. Gateshead find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 30 points from their 26 matches.
