Gateshead FC desperately need points on Saturday, Jan 9 at 4:00 PM in the National League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Gateshead FC come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 5L in last 5). Boston United, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Gateshead FC and Boston United have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (5W–0D–5W). Their last encounter ended in Gateshead FC won 0–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Gateshead FC a slight edge, but Boston United are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
