Gateshead never played League Two, but this year, they are in the promotion playoff and will have their shot at going up. However, to have any chances, Gateshead have to improve their current form as they lost the last three matches in a row. In the previous league round, Gateshead lost 2-0 at home against Maidenhead. According to the stats, the teams were pretty even, but the guests' significantly better efficiency made the difference between the two sides.
From the start of the 2024/25 season, Braintree's primary goal is avoiding relegation. With nine games left, they are in a good position with six points more than the drop zone. Braintree were in amazing form lately, with five games in a row without defeat, but in the last match, they lost 1-0 at home against Boston United. Braintree probably deserved to win one point from that game, but they failed to convert any of their goal-scoring chances and stayed empty-handed.
Gateshead vs Braintree Town pick: Under 2.5 goals
Gateshead scored only three goals in the last five matches. On the other hand, Braintree allowed two goals in the previous three games. We shouldn't expect more than two goals in this match.

Gateshead team news
Gateshead's head coach, Carl Magnay, was very disappointed with a performance in a 2-0 loss against Maidenhead. After the game, he said that his team wasn't even near enough level to achieve something. Magnay also added that the team lacks cohesion at the moment due to missing some players. We will see if Gateshead can improve that in the next game against Braintree.

Braintree Town team news
Braintree's manager, Steve Pitt, said that poor performance in the first 20-25 minutes from his side was enough for Boston United to secure victory. He also said Braintree had ball dominance in the second half, but they missed a spark and didn't create much.
