FA Cup
Wednesday’s encounter will be the second meeting between the two sides this year. The last meeting, which took place at this same ground in February, saw Altrincham secure their first win in three head-to-head meetings. That victory took the Robins' number of wins in the last eight H2H meetings between the two sides to three, a feat matched by Gateshead. The average number of goals per game was three.
Gateshead team overview
After six games in the 2025-26 National League campaign, Gateshead have won only three times and are currently in third place.
Two of these victories came within the last ten days, with wins against Tamworth and Yeovil Town by scores of 2:1 and 4:3, respectively. Eager to secure a third consecutive win, Alun Armstrong’s team hosted Aldershot Town last weekend, and the match got off to a promising start.
They took the lead after only five minutes thanks to Kyle Hurst, but had to fight for a draw as their visitors scored twice before half-time. The game ended in a 3:3 draw, and the Tynesiders will be eager to bounce back this week. The good news Gateshead fans is that the squad is free of injuries and suspensions.

Altrincham team overview
Meanwhile, Altrincham have won only two of their six league games so far this season, with the other four resulting in defeat. The visitors actually got off to a good start, winning their opening fixture 3-2 against Aldershot Town.
Phil Parkinson’s team then lost the next three matches, conceding two goals in each of the last two games, before beating Solihull Moors on Match Day 5.
Last weekend, the Robins returned to their usual form as they conceded two goals again and lost 2-1 to Eastleigh. That said, Altrincham fans will be encouraged by the fact that their last three wins against Gateshead were all away from home.

Prediction
Both sides have experienced their fair share of issues this season, but the hosts are currently in better form. Gateshead are unbeaten in their last three games, having won two and scored nine goals. But the Tynesiders are facing an Altrincham side against whom they have managed to beat only once in the last five meetings at this ground. Four of those games saw more than 2.5 goals, so I'm predicting a 2–2 draw.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- All Altrincham’s three away National League games this season have produced three goals.
- 10 of the last 14 meetings between Gateshead and Altrincham ended with over 2.5 goals.
- All but one of the last eight games of Gateshead produced three or more goals.
Main prediction -
Over 2.5 goals
