The hosts have won once in their last eight home matches
Braintree have lost just one of their last six
Worrying run for hosts
Gateshead are in the playoff spots heading into Tuesday’s National League fixtures, but they’re in poor form despite being heavy favourites to see off Braintree.
The hosts have gone five games without a victory, which includes losing each of their last three starts. Gateshead have also won just one of their previous eight home matches, slipping up against 22nd-placed Fylde and 19th-placed Maidenhead in their previous two.
Braintree are also in the bottom half of the table, but they’ve lost only one of their last six. They held Gateshead to a 2-2 draw earlier this term and the visitors should be capable of getting a result in this trip.
Gateshead had a strong record at home to sides outside of the playoff race, but their recent slip-ups against struggling teams make them worth opposing on Tuesday. Take the visitors on the double chance market, while a 1-1 draw is my correct score prediction.
Predictions:Braintree Town Double Chance (Win or Draw) Draw 1-1
