Gateshead v Tamworth

National League, Regular season, Matchday 14. Kick-off Friday 23 October, 19:45 UK time, at Gateshead International Stadium, Gateshead.

Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

Gateshead v Tamworth is one to leave alone. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.

Preview

Tamworth take the points here because Gateshead are running on fumes after playing only three days ago. Ben Clark took over the hosts just two games back, yet they sit bottom of the table and have lost five of their last six matches. Andy Peaks brings a visiting side that has won three of their last six outings, even if their travels are poor. Both managers set up in a 4-4-2 shape, meaning a direct battle all over the pitch in the wind. Gateshead cannot buy a win against teams above them, managing zero victories in their last ten attempts against such sides. The last meeting ended 3-1, and similar defensive frailties will decide it.
