Recent respective form guides
Darlington's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. The Quakers have conceded a disappointing 10 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 1 of their own chances.
Gateshead's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Tynesiders's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.
Darlington see themselves just below half way in the Blue Square (Conference) Premier, showing a record of 5 points from their 4 games played so far, Gateshead's 5 points from 4 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Darlington at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the The Quakers will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
| Sequence statistics: | |
| Darlington | 6 games since last home draw. Not won in the 3 most recent games. |
| Gateshead | No win in the 2 most recent games. |
