Recent respective form guides

Tamworth's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Lambs have scored 7, a worringly large 11 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. A generous 6 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Tamworth find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 20 points from their 18 matches. Gateshead see themselves just below half way in the Blue Square (Conference) Premier, showing a record of 23 points from their 18 games played so far,
