Both teams have had a mixed run of results lately. Gateshead have won three of their last five but lost the other two, including a heavy defeat, so they've been up and down. Barrow have also won two and lost three in that same stretch, so neither team comes in with real momentum.

There's no recent history between these two to look at, and the recent matches for both sides have generally been fairly busy with goals. Given Gateshead are at home and slightly more consistent in picking up wins, this looks like a close game that could go either way, but Gateshead have a small edge and I'd lean toward them winning it.
