Recent respective form guides
Rushden & Diamonds's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Diamonds have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Gateshead's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. A generous 8 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
Rushden & D.'s 43 points from 29 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position. Gateshead find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 33 points from their 27 matches.
