Recent respective form guides

Ebbsfleet United need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Fleet have scored 6, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Gateshead's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Tynesiders have hit 5 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Ebbsfleet United find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 27 games have yielded only 24 points.

Gateshead are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 31 points from 26 matches.
