Gateshead

vs

Yeovil Town

Preview

Gateshead (home)

• Gateshead have avoided defeat in their last two home matches, winning 2, drawing 2 and losing 1 of their last five.
• Gateshead have 37 points from 39 National League games to date, leaving them 21st in the table.
• They play a possession-based game, building up patiently and stretching the opponents wide using their wing-backs to create overloads.
• Gateshead have gone unbeaten in their last two home games, with a win and a draw, so they have some momentum to carry into this one.
• Gateshead have won 3, drawn 4 and lost 12 of their 19 National League home matches this season, so it’s difficult to have much confidence in their ability to get the job done at home, despite having a decent recent record against Yeovil Town and their improved form at the International Stadium.

Yeovil Town (away)

• Yeovil Town have won two and lost three of their last five games.
• Yeovil Town have fared slightly better with 44 points from 38 matches, placing them 16th.
• Yeovil Town have been much more pragmatic and compact since the departure of Mark Cooper in August 2025.
• Yeovil have won 5, drawn 1 and lost 12 of their 18 National League away matches this term, so the draw looks a better play here.

Key Players

• Kain Adom remains their biggest threat, scoring 10 goals in 23 appearances in the National League this term, while Harry Chapman has chipped in with 2 of their last 5.
• Luke McCormick is the veteran striker Yeovil have to rely upon, and he has 8 goals in 32 National League appearances this campaign.

Betting Insights

• Gateshead have scored an average of 0.95 goals per home game in the National League this season, conceding an average of 2.05 in return.
• The odds of 3.36 look good value, but I also fancy the chances of both teams to score - yes, given both are likely to attack and both have been prone to conceding goals.
