Gateshead FC desperately need points on Saturday, Feb 6 at 4:00 PM in the National League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.
Hartlepool United come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 1L). Gateshead FC travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
In 10 previous meetings, Hartlepool United lead 5–3 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Hartlepool United won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Hartlepool United clear favorites, but Gateshead FC have shown they can grind out results. Expect Hartlepool United to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
