Boston United
- Boston United are 21st in the National League 2026/2027 on 12 points from 13 games, while Gateshead are bottom of the 24-team league on just four points from their 13 matches.
- However, both sides enter this Tuesday's game in equally poor form, with Boston on a streak of 0 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats in their last five games and Gateshead on 0 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses in the same period.
- Boston's home record in the National League 2026/2027 is 1 win, 1 draw and 5 loses, scoring 0.86 goals and conceding 1.57 per game.
Gateshead
- Gateshead are a team that play with the ball, pressing high and playing through the wings with pace.
- Alex Lankshear leads the line with one goal in ten appearances, so The Heed are blunt up top.
- They have had a disastrous away record in the National League 2026/2027, losing all seven of their away league matches in 2026-27, conceding 2.86 goals per away game and scoring just 0.43 goals per game on the road.
Head-to-Head
- Boston United have won four of the last five meetings between the sides.
- Boston have lost their previous two home matches against Southend United and Scunthorpe United, but they have the advantage of home turf and a fantastic record against Gateshead with four wins and a draw from the pair's last five head-to-head encounters.
Key Players
- Paul Hurst's men play a compact 4-3-3 system with plenty of width, control the pace of the game and are solid at the back, which is exactly what you need to be against The Heed.
- Aboh is the Pilgrims' main goal threat with three goals in 11 National League 2026/2027 appearances, but the whole side are the danger here.
- Alex Lankshear leads the line with one goal in ten appearances, so The Heed are blunt up top.
Betting Insights
- The Pilgrims have the home advantage and are priced at 1.6 to win.
- Boston United are on a three-match losing streak, but Gateshead's form has been poor as well.
- Boston's home record in the National League 2026/2027 is 1 win, 1 draw and 5 loses, scoring 0.86 goals and conceding 1.57 per game.
Prediction
- The Heed's last away trip was a 4-1 defeat to Halifax Town, and while they are a better team than Boston United, Boston should be the more likely winners in this clash, as they have the structure to counter and home advantage to boot.
- We're backing the home side to nick a close one.
