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.
