Gateshead vs Sutton United: match statistics
Sutton United appears to be the favorite for this clash despite playing away. Gateshead sits very low in 23rd position and has a disastrous home record - winning only 12% of their home matches and losing a staggering 71%. The hosts score an average of only 0.94 goals per home match while conceding 2.24, resulting in a -22 goal difference. Sutton United performs significantly better in away matches, with a shot conversion rate of 11% and an average of 1.17 goals scored per match, while conceding fewer (1.72 goals). The form of both teams over their last 5 matches is similar (Gateshead 1.6 PPG, Sutton 1.4 PPG), but a significant advantage in overall and away statistics favors the visitors. Given Gateshead's weakness in home games and Sutton United's more solid quality, I expect an away win, although a draw remains a realistic scenario.
