Gateshead come into this one after beating York City 3-1 on 24 March, which extended a run of three wins, two draws and one loss from their last six. That recent spell has been open enough to suit a BTTS angle, with both sides scoring in four of those six games and Gateshead conceding in three of their last four league fixtures.

Yeovil Town have also mixed results with enough attacking output to keep both teams in the frame. They beat Wealdstone 2-0 on 25 March and have scored in four of their last six, including a 3-2 home win over Morecambe. At the same time, they have failed to keep things tight away from home in the season as a whole, with 25 goals conceded in 19 away league matches.

The broader numbers point the same way. Gateshead’s home record reads four wins, four draws and 12 defeats, but their home goals split is 21 scored and 40 conceded, so their matches at this ground often open up. Yeovil’s away record of six wins, one draw and 12 defeats is not especially reliable, yet they have enough going forward to threaten, and the projected 1.4 to 1.2 xG split suggests chances at both ends rather than a one-sided script.

There is a little tension in the recent clean-sheet results, because Yeovil shut out Wealdstone 2-0 and Gateshead beat Wealdstone 1-0 on 17 March. Even so, this fixture has leaned toward goals and both teams have scored in four of the last six league meetings between them, which fits the way both current form lines are shaping up.

My prediction is Both Teams To Score at 57/100. Gateshead have seen both teams score in four of their last six league matches, Yeovil have scored in four of their last six, and the home-and-away defensive records are both loose enough to leave room at either end. The head-to-head also supports it, with both sides finding the net in four of the last six meetings, while the xG projection of 1.4 to 1.2 still points to chances for each team.
