Recent respective form guides
Gateshead's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Tynesiders have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Barrow's away form is none too clever either, picking up four victories from the last six. The Bluebirds's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.
Gateshead are stuck down in the relegation zone of Blue Square (Conference) Premier with a return of just 25 points from their 30 games thus far. Barrow are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 28 points from 27 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Tynesiders at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Bluebirds come away with an easy victory. Away win
