Eastleigh's recent form shows a mixed bag with one win, two losses, and two draws in their last five matches, while Gateshead has recorded one win, two losses, and two draws. Historically, their head-to-head encounters suggest a competitive rivalry, with Gateshead holding a slight edge in away wins (4) compared to Eastleigh's home victories (3) over the last ten meetings.
One intriguing angle for this match is the likelihood of both teams scoring, as indicated by the odds for "Both Teams to Score" (BTTS) at 1.7. With five of the last ten encounters resulting in both teams finding the net, and considering both sides' recent struggles in defence, this could be a promising bet. Furthermore, Eastleigh's home advantage may play a crucial role, but Gateshead's ability to exploit defensive lapses could lead to an entertaining clash. Expect a closely fought contest with potential for goals at both ends.
