Match Preview
Gateshead will host Halifax Town at the Gateshead International Stadium this Saturday in what promises to be a closely contested fixture in the National League. Both teams have shown inconsistency in their recent performances, with Gateshead registering two wins in their last five matches, while Halifax has struggled, managing only one win in the same period. This disparity in form could give Gateshead a slight edge, especially as they play on home turf.
Historically, encounters between these two sides have been tightly contested, with six of their last ten meetings ending in draws. This suggests that a stalemate could be a likely outcome again, particularly given both teams' current form. One angle to consider is the potential for both teams to score; four of the last ten head-to-heads have seen both sides find the net. With Gateshead looking to capitalize on home advantage and Halifax aiming to turn their fortunes around, this match could be pivotal for both clubs as they seek to gain momentum in the league.
