Gateshead vs Altrincham

Gateshead are aiming to maintain the pressure on the frontrunners when they host Altrincham in a midweek English National League fixture.

The hosts have had a decent start to the season and will be feeling confident heading into this clash. They should have the upper hand over the visitors, who are struggling at the moment.

Gateshead News

It has been a decent start to the season for Gateshead, who have picked up four wins from six National League matches. They are currently five points off the leaders, and manager Alun Armstrong will know there is still plenty of room for improvement.

Gates head into this clash off the back of a 3-3 home draw with Aldershot in their previous National League outing. That result means they are unbeaten in their last two home matches, having earned a 2-1 victory over Tamworth in their previous fixture.

As evidenced by the result against Aldershot, Gateshead have been involved in thrilling outcomes lately. They have scored and conceded in their last three matches, all of which have produced over 2.5 goals.

Altrincham News

Altrincham are coming off a 2-1 defeat at Eastleigh in their previous National League fixture. They struck first through James Gale but were pegged back after the break.

That result is part of a poor start to the season for Altrincham, who have now lost four of their last five matches. Three of those defeats have come on their travels as Phil Parkinson's team often struggle away from home.

Poor defending remains a major problem for Altrincham, who are without a clean sheet in five of their six National League matches. However, they have scored in five fixtures on this run, while four of those matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Gateshead have five wins while Altrincham have earned four victories, with three draws in the last 12 matches. However, the visitors picked up a 1-0 away victory in the last meeting back in February.

Verdict

Gateshead v Altrincham

It is usually an open contest between Gateshead and Altrincham, with both teams scoring in two of their last three meetings. Those two fixtures have also produced over 2.5 goals, and a similar outcome is expected here.

Both teams have had contrasting starts to the season, with Gateshead looking sharp while Altrincham are out of sorts at the moment. The hosts have won four of their six matches and should come out on top on Wednesday.
