Gateshead

Gateshead prepare for this fixture following a 1-1 National League draw against Barnet.

The only name on the scoresheet from Gateshead was Danny Elliott (67'). Nicke Kabamba (87') scored for Barnet.

It has been all too rare in recent times where Gateshead have shown defensive steel. In fact, Gateshead have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 8 goals along the way. Having said that, it remains to be seen if that trend might be maintained here in this game or not.

Dorking Wanderers

LLWDLL

Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Oldham Athletic in National League competition, Dorking Wanderers and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

The only scorer from Dorking Wanderers was James McShane (8'). Mike Fondop (18', 34', 56'), Peter Clarke (45') and Ellis Chapman (64') scored for Oldham Athletic.

Dorking Wanderers have been effective going forward leading up to this encounter, scoring 7 times in their previous 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Dorking Wanderers have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same matches.

Coming into this contest, Dorking Wanderers have not won away from home in their last 9 league games. Very poor, indeed.
