• Gateshead have picked up just 13 points at home this season.

Minstermen to stroll to victory

York City are locked in a heated battle for top spot in the National League, and they can keep the pressure on leaders Rochdale when they visit a relegation-threatened Gateshead on Tuesday.

Tuesday’s visitors have won 12 of their last 13 matches and have the best away record in the division, winning 14 of their 19 trips away and conceding just 16 goals in the process.

They have won to nil in seven of their last eight away days and, while Gateshead may be showing signs of improvement, The Heed have only scored three goals in their last four matches.

The 21st-placed side harbour the National League’s worst home record and were beaten 4-0 in the reverse fixture, so backing York to win to nil appeals, with a fifth 3-0 scoreline in nine away matches the preferred correct score prediction.

22-year-old striker Josh Stones could be the scorer of one of these goals, too. He took his tally to 15 goals with a brace against Brackley at the weekend and has five goals in his last six appearances, while he also found the net in the reverse fixture in November.
